Globalization of Science - Research on the adoption of the Internet and related technology by Third World scientists. http://worldsci.net/
This is a sociological project that seeks to understand the ways in which the introduction of the Internet changes interpersonal relationships in the process of knowledge production. The origin of this project was pure luck. The Dutch government funded a survey to understand the conditions of scientific work in three countries. They did a study in 1994 of scientific communication in Ghana, Kenya and Kerala, India. Only later did they realize that they had the perfect baseline for the study of the effects of the Internet on social relationships.
