| Abstract: | The new prominence given to science for economic growth and industry comes with an increased policy focus on the promotion
of commodification and commercialization of academic science. This paper posits that this increased interest in commodification
is a new steering mechanism for governing science. This is achieved by first outlining what is meant by the commodification
of scientific knowledge through reviewing a selection of literatures on the concept of commodification. The paper concludes
with a discussion of how commodification functions as a means for governing science. |
