网络环境下的当代虚拟科研组织:内涵、特征与问题

The connotation,characteristics and problems of modern science research organization under network environment

信息通信技术的不断发展致使当代科研组织变地日益网络化和虚拟化。文章在分析虚拟科研组织重要内涵的基础上认为,当代虚拟科研组织具有研究目标一致、研究人员优势互补、组织结构灵活、科技资源共享、知识产权不明晰等特征。进而基于STS的批判性视角指出:虚拟科研组织存在不断加剧科学共同体的科层化趋势、缺少制度性组织管理机制、引起很多新的社会性问题等三个方面的问题,必须从这些问题入手为我国虚拟科研组织构建良好的外部发展环境。

The development of information and communication technologies have made modern scientific research organizations seem more and more networked and virtualized. After analysizing the important connotation of virtual science research organization this paper concludes that modern science research organizations have five characteristics： the research goals are same,researchers are complementary,the architectures are flexible,the resources are shared,the intellectual property rights are not clear. Then basing on the STS critical perspective,this paper points out that virtual research organizations have three problems： it will intensify the hierarchical trend of science community,it lacks the mechanism of institutional organization management,and it brings some new social problems. It is very important to construct good external development environment for our virtual research organizations according to the above problems.
