• Big data, bigger dilemmas: A critical review (2015, background): “” Moving away from the “old ways,” though, had begun even before the advent of Big Data, in the era of post-World War II Big Science when, for instance, many scientists involved in geological, biological, and ecological data initiatives held the belief that data collection could be an end in itself,”
• If We Share Data, Will Anyone Use Them? Data Sharing and Reuse in the Long Tail of Science and Technology (2013, background): “Big data from big science are intended for sharing among big teams [44–46].”
• Latent life: Concepts and practices of human tissue preservation in the International Biological Program (2013, background): “…countries participated in the IBP – already well known to historians for its contributions to ecological science – American scientists were among the best funded and most influential contributors to the initiative (Aronova et al., 2010; Blair, 1977; Kingsland, 1995; Kwa, 1987; Worthington, 1975).”
