Webinar Tribute to Loet Leydesdorff
and Presentation of Special Issue of Quantitative Science Studies


The new journal Quantitative Science Studies (QSS) has recently released a new special issue (www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/full/10.1162/qss_e_00061) exploring the relation of QSS with neighboring fields, with contributions by renowned scholars working at the boundaries of QSS. This webinar explored some of the issues raised in the special issue and looked ahead to the future of the field.

The presentation of the special issue was an occasion to offer a tribute to Loet Leydesdorff for his contributions to various fields of science studies over almost fifty years, from his initial work on Dutchscience shops in the 1970s, to the Triple Helix dynamics, across a myriad of strangely beautiful scientometric blossoms. We invited friends of STS, scientometrics, and innovation studies and beyond to participate in the celebration. The Webinar included:

Session 1. Special Issue on ‘Bridging the divide between qualitative and quantitative science studies’
