The theoretical concepts of the communication network (Rogers and Kincaid, 1981) and of communication as a constructive activity, or "sense-making" (Dervin, 1983; Delia et al., 1982), were used to generate a model of scientific communication networks as "interpretive environments," where scientists engage in different types of communication activities. |
