the Internet Changed Social Science Research"
Twelfth Annual Martin B. Hickman Outstanding Scholar

Butler's research analyzed
major journals in Anthropology,
Economics, Political Science, Psychology, and Sociology,
revealing that the Internet has influenced the amount
and quality of scholarly articles in the social sciences,
has somewaht favored empirical studies, has eased collaborative
scholarship and increased jointly-authored articles.
However, within these fields, it appears the Internet
has deepened the authority of existing major scholars
rather than democratizing access and publication. |
