Prominent but Less Productive (2015, background): “Though the practice of interdisciplinarity is not new (Abbott, 2001), it is increasingly prevalent in the natural sciences (Rhoten and Pfirman, 2007) and social sciences (Brint, 2005; Jacobs and Frickel, 2009).”
Distinctions, affiliations, and professional knowledge in financial reform expert groups (2014, background): “…have to be supported by effort and resources among those who seek to maintain the importance of making a new iteration, or one of the distinctions may be rendered ‘sterile’, with a possibility of being ‘remapped’ later when the missing component is then viewed as essential (Abbott 2001: 22–3).”
Epistemology, Normative Theory and Poverty Analysis:Implications for Q-Squared in Practice (2007, unknown): “This issue of scale 184 WORLD DEVELOPMENT”
Philosophy and the practice of Bayesian statistics (2010, unknown): “(This is related to but somewhat different from the recursive subject-matter divisions discussed by Abbott 2001.)”
The Temporalities of Capitalism (2008, background): “On the fractal character of social life, see Abbott (2001).”
New frontiers in international strategy (2004, background): “4For a somewhat more extended discussion of indexicality in a broader social science context, see Abbott (2001), especially pp 11–12 and Chapter 6.”
Realism as a Stance for Mixed Methods Research (2010, background): “One of the many examples that Abbott analyzed was Chambliss’s study of competitive swimming (Chambliss, 1989; see Example 1). Abbott argued that the debate over Chambliss’s work shows the power of making a “realist” or “constructivist” move, even within a largely constructivist field, creating new l”
Big data, bigger dilemmas: A critical review (2015, background): “Even “fractal distinctions” (Abbott, 2001, p. 11) might not, as such, be adequate to describe the blurring that occurs between analysis and interpretation in Big Data, particularly given the rise of large-scale visualizations.”
Emergence and development of the National Innovation Systems concept (2006, methodology): “In a more recent publication, Abbott (2001) maps patterns of social science research during the last century and lays down a set of principles by which it is organized—or, he would argue, by which the research in fact seems to cesses through which better and longer established disciplines form,…”
Developing a measure of interdisciplinary competence (2012, background): “This understanding implies the existence of a scholar community that establishes and regulates, to some degree, communal values and norms [e.g., 9, 19–27].”
Ties That Last (2013, background): “An often-cited barrier to tie formation in academia is departmental boundaries that represent formal, jurisdictional boundaries within the modern university (Abbott, 2001).”
