“…Whereas scientists, philosophers, sociologists and economists have developed their own definitions of science, science is simply defined as what scientists do and produce. Scientists and philosophers have defined science by its content (knowledge) and method, economists have defined it as information, and sociologists have defined it by its institutions and practices (Godin, 2007).…”

The present study aims to investigate the views of prospective chemists and preservice chemistry teachers about science-technology-society (STS) issues, attempting to examine the differences between these views. A questionnaire that included 4 open-ended questions was distributed to 67 senior university students to determine what their views were on STS issues. The data was collected from the students' written responses to the open-ended questions. The data gathered from the two groups of students was analyzed qualitatively from the perspective of responding to the research questions. It was observed that while prospective chemists mostly defined science from epistemological and philosophical perspectives, pre-service chemistry teachers frequently explained science from epistemological and pedagogical perspectives. The results revealed that the meanings of science and technology in the minds of the students in both groups showed some important differences in this sample. Additionally, students in both groups stated that science and technology affected society both negatively and positively.

“…Dok znanstvenici, filozofi, sociolozi i ekonomisti imaju vlastite definicije znanosti, znanost se jednostavno definira kao ono što znanstvenici rade i proizvode. Znanstvenici i filozofi definirali su znanost prema njezinu sadržaju (znanje) i metodi, ekonomisti kao informaciju, a sociolozi prema institucijama i praksi (Godin, 2007).…”

“…NIS is a set of institutions whose interactions determine the innovative performance of national firms. It is composed of elements and relationships which interact in the production, diffusion and use of new and economically useful knowledge (Godin, 2007). The NIS approach is theoretically rooted in institutional and evolutionary economics (Berger and Diez, 2006).…”

The main objective of this paper is to explore potential of Istanbul as a city region in the innovation league. There is a growing awareness amongst regional authorities that the economic growth and competitiveness of their cities depends largely on the capacity of indigenous firms to innovate. This paper mainly analyzes the technological and innovation infrastructure of Istanbul and compares Istanbul with some successful global cities. By situating the city in the national and global context, it shows that Istanbul has gained a substantial lead in developing an innovation environment but it still lacks global network and linkages as well as weak in terms of research institutions. Finally, some of key challenges Istanbul face in becoming a global city is pointed out.

“…"The task given to [the Economics of Information] panel is to provide, for these people (especially in government) who have to take decisions in the field of information, the economic elements which should form an important part of the bases for these decisions". 34 A plan of action was drafted in 1966, 35 centered around two main components: 1) identifying the processes by which information is transferred from research to users and measuring cost and effectiveness, 2) developing standards on data to be collected. To the OECD, the unit of information for measurement was defined as "a scientific article, an abstract or a report", and the studies' suggested coverage was all sectors of the economy: government, higher education, industry, non profit.…”

Although this latter framework, which first emerged in the 1960s, contributed to the literature on information, particularly beginning with the idea of information as commodity, it is not discussed here. The knowledge-based society carries a very broad definition of knowledge, which includes science, technology, innovation and education. References to information per se are mainly to information and communication technologies, and the framework is concerned with a lot more than information, and in this sense cannot be strictly identified as a framework on information. See B.
