• Resumen

  • Austen talks about scientific revolution. Over the centuries, science became institutionalized. At first, though, there was plenty of room for the unaffiliated amateur--the likes of Darwin or Einstein. Now there's a revolution going on. All one need is a bit of spare time, and stable telecommunications. Millions of people have access to swathes of scientific information thanks to the Internet, open-access publishing and servers dishing up drafts of scientific papers before they are formally published, with or without peer review.
