New Production of Knowledge

Mode 1 : Academic monopoly of knowledge production
Discipline based

Mode 2 : Co-production of knowledge
Problem-orientated and trans-disciplinary
Impact: - Positive societal and/or economic difference
- More likely if research coproduced
But: Academic promotion linked to top journals controlled by
disciplines – Potential changes with Open Access?
