Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines scientists who choose and remain in an emerging field of research, specifically focusing on comparing scientists who enter early with those who follow later when the field achieves broader acceptance. The author presents an in-depth study of neural network scientists, analyzing quantitative survey data from over 700 researchers in the field. By contrasting early entrants to the field with scientists who entered later, the book uncovers differences in their motivations. Early entrants, for example, are less influenced by social dynamics within the research community, and more strongly influenced by the subject matter's intellectual appeal. The book concludes that early entrants who persist in a field are distinct from those who follow, particularly in their motivations for choosing and remaining in their chosen field.
