1997 Pasteur's Qudrant: Basic Science and Technological Innovation. "New knowledge can be obtained only through basic scientific research" conducted in universities and research labs, which is then applied to develop new products by the private sector and new and improved weapons by the defense . As conventional wisdom has it, basic research is a core input for economic innovation, and economic innovation is good for everybody. Stark, Juliana Novic, Sharon L. Not exist (noscript) message in the property file. Smith, Benjamin Stanley, Barbara L. Speculation on science, technology, and society. Oleh karenanya, Stokes (1997) dalam bukunya berjudul, “Pasteur” Quadrant: Basic Science and Technological Innovation, “ menyajikan dalam bentuk suatu matriks penelitian. But really, when you look In essence, Bell Labs took the best in the world and aimed them towards “use-inspired basic research”, what science policy scholar, academic administrator, and NSF advisor Donald Stokes identified as Pasteur's Quadrant. Unless on subscribes to some species of idealism or essentialism, strictly speaking the term basic or fundamental research has no meaning outside its use as a statistical household word: in other words it is historically and socially contingent . Eschewing Vannevar Bush's model of separation between 'pure, untainted' research and that influenced by considerations of use, see Donald Stokes' excellent book "Pasteur's Quadrant: Basic Science and Technological Innovation. Donald Stokes (Pascal's Quadrant: Basic Science and Technological Innovation, 1997) stresses work that is motivated by both considerations for use and fundamental understanding. His favorite example of "use-inspired basic research" is Louis Pasteur's repeated success in working on genuine problems such as the spoilage of milk and failures of wine fermentation, to produce basic science breakthroughs about bacterial processes and vaccines.
