Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Law
  • Social science
  • Epistemology

Geoffrey C. Bowker mostly deals with Cyberinfrastructure, Knowledge management, Management, Politics and Variety. The Cyberinfrastructure study combines topics in areas such as Science, technology, society and environment education, Science education, Science communication and Sociology of scientific knowledge. His work carried out in the field of Knowledge management brings together such families of science as Bridge and Social informatics.

His Management research includes themes of Multidisciplinary approach and Engineering management. His Politics research incorporates themes from The Internet and Information infrastructure. Variety is closely attributed to Alliance in his work.

His most cited work include:

  • Sorting Things Out: Classification and Its Consequences (4155 citations)
  • The multiple bodies of the medical record : Toward a sociology of an artifact (280 citations)
  • Toward Information Infrastructure Studies: Ways of Knowing in a Networked Environment (244 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Geoffrey C. Bowker focuses on Knowledge management, Epistemology, Data science, Engineering ethics and Cyberinfrastructure. Geoffrey C. Bowker has included themes like Standardization and Information infrastructure in his Knowledge management study. His Information infrastructure research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Interoperability and Cross-domain interoperability.

His Epistemology research incorporates elements of Social psychology, Historiography, Politics and Reading. Geoffrey C. Bowker combines Politics and Nursing Interventions Classification in his research. His study looks at the intersection of Data science and topics like Information science with Operations research.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Knowledge management (25.81%)
  • Epistemology (13.98%)
  • Data science (12.90%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2016)?

  • Cyberinfrastructure (10.75%)
  • Engineering design process (2.15%)
  • Component (2.15%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Geoffrey C. Bowker mainly investigates Cyberinfrastructure, Engineering design process, Component, Data science and Knowledge management. His studies in Cyberinfrastructure integrate themes in fields like Collective action and Cognitive science. His Component study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Sociotechnical system and Design process.

His research in Data science intersects with topics in Computer security, Metadata and Face. Geoffrey C. Bowker connects Knowledge management with Research information in his research. Data sharing combines with fields such as Interoperability and Scientific communication in his work.

Between 2009 and 2016, his most popular works were:

  • Science friction: data, metadata, and collaboration (219 citations)
  • Values in design (96 citations)
  • Knowledge Infrastructures: Intellectual Frameworks and Research Challenges (84 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Law
  • Social science
  • Epistemology

Geoffrey C. Bowker spends much of his time researching Management, Engineering ethics, Control engineering, Engineering design process and Component. His study ties his expertise on Iterative design together with the subject of Control engineering.
