This paper analyses the process of knowledge growth in a branch of medical science. Our study of scientific advances in glaucoma research is organized in two parts. In the first we present a qualitative overview of the problem sequences that have characterized 150 years of medical research in...

AbstractThe objective of this paper is to analyse the dynamics of networks in which new knowledgeemerges and through which it is exchanged. Our conjecture is that the structure of a networkcannot be divorced from the dynamics of the knowledge underpinning its activities. In so doing welook...
