Studied Sociology, psychology, and communication studies in Dresden, Leipzig and Berlin where he graduated in sociology in 2007. From 2007 and 2010 he worked at the Fraunhofer Institute of Innovation and Systems Research in Karlsruhe in different projects on innovation policy and the governance of emerging technologies. In 2010, he began working as a teaching coordinator, designing and implementing the MA Program "Science Studies" which has been successfully introduced at HU Berlin in 2012. At the same time, he was also involved in a project on the regulation of data practices in German universities. Between December 2013 and 2016 he worked as a research associate in the DFG funded project "Reviews as legitimizing resource in emerging research fields" focusing on the case of synthetic biology. He was also involved in a project on core concepts, organizational and evaluation of Translational Medical Research funded by the Berlin Institute of Health. His research interests include: science and technology studies, innovation studies, network analysis, governance of biomedicine (with a specific focus on synthetic biology), as well as studies into digital scholarly practices. Clemens Blümel joined the DZHW in January 2017.

Focus on ‘successful research’ leads to underestimation of research collaboration.

Focus on ‘successful research’ leads to underestimation of research collaboration. Vortrag auf der Konferenz 4S Annual Meeting 2021, The Society for Social Studies of Science (4S), Toronto, Canada.
Abstract

Science and Technology Studies, but also quantitative science studies carry a legacy of research evaluation, represented by concepts as diverse as the h-Index or Altmetrics, focussing on research output. Even research on research collaboration often aims at examining networks of (“successful”) knowledge production. Collaboration holds the promise to foster innovation – which is measured in scientometrics in terms of output. We argue, that digital traces of research in progress allow for gaining a more comprehensive picture of the research process and the research collaboration landscape. Failure does not invalidate research.
