“Science is the core sector of present-day knowledge production. . . . Science is a collective endeavour. It is not the business of isolated persons or research units, but an industry that combines the work of specialists who collaborate with other specialists in producing inputs for other lines of specialised production. . . . Science is a forward-oriented activity. Its strength lies in the productive destruction of outdated wisdom.”
(Franck, 2002)
