Research Is Culture Too: How Interest Frames the Technical Work of Researchers
Manage episode 445992770 series 2421437
Listen to this interview of Paul Gazzillo, Associate Professor of Computer Science, University of Central Florida. We talk about peer reviewing at conferences versus journals, and we talk about how different venues define research problems differently.
Paul Gazzillo : "One important purpose of scientific publication is novel contributions. And so, applying logic to that, you can disprove that something's a contribution by demonstrating that it's unsound. But as to novelty — well, it's very hard to make a quantifiable measure of that. But you can, to some extent, qualitatively measure novelty, because if you know there's a whole bunch of work in that area, well then, from there you can estimate a qualitative distance between that work and the contribution the authors are claiming to make. That should allow you to decide the amount of real novelty in a manuscript."
