    • ...An epistemic community or mini-paradigm, often called a school of thought, is a socially constructed and informal community of researchers who build on each other’s ideas and share similar interests and who consequentially share patterns of citation in their work (Crane 1972, 1980)...
    • ...While researchers have identified and delineated schools of thought in various fields ranging from management of information science to theoretical high energy physics, they have rarely looked at how these schools function or how they affect new knowledge performance (Crane 1980; Culnan 1987)...
    • ...Third, schools of thought represent mental paradigms that unconsciously influence authors’ view of the boundaries of their intellectual world (Crane 1980; Pfeffer 1993; Small 2003)...

    • ...Although in science studies there is considerable controversy as to the exact meaning of the term paradigm (Giere 2006; Masterman 1970), we can assume that a paradigm is the set of beliefs, norms, and values shared by members of a group of scientists (producers and validators of scientific knowledge) engaged in studying specific problems in a research area (Crane 1980)...
    • ...These beliefs, norms, and values can refer to the laws of nature, definitions of symbols, explanatory models, theories, and scientific predictions and also to the questions that need to be answered and the technical problem solutions that guide the research of scientists (Crane 1980)...
    • ...Kuhn’s (1962b) paradigm theory (Crane 1980)...
    • ...An exploratory study of the characteristics of paradigms in theoretical high energy physics by Crane (1980) came to the same conclusion: ‘‘We find that the fundamental principles of the field have not been questioned for decades, while exemplars are rejected if they prove to be untestable or if they are not confirmed’’ (p. 48)...
    • ...Correspondingly, there is no one point in time for the transition but rather a sequence of important points in time up to the transition (see here also Crane 1980)...
