"Millions of scientific articles are published each year, making it difficult to stay
abreast of advances within even the smallest subdisciplines. Traditional approaches
to the study of science, such as the history and philosophy of science, involve closely
reading a relatively small set of journal articles. And yet many questions benefit
from casting a wider net: Is most scientific change gradual or revolutionary? What
are the key sources of scientific novelty? Over the past several decades, a massive
effort to digitize the academic literature and equip computers with algorithms that
can distantly read and analyze a digital database has taken us one step closer to
answering these questions. The Dynamics of Science brings together a diverse array
of contributors to examine the largely unexplored computational frontiers of history
and philosophy of science. Together, they reveal how tools and data from automated
textual analysis, or machine "reading," combined with methods and models from game
theory and cultural evolutionary theory, can begin to answer fundamental questions
about the nature and history of science"
