Abstract

This article addresses the invisible college concept with the intent of developing a consensus regarding its definition. Emphasis is placed an the term as it was defined and used in Derek de Solla Price's work (1963, 1986) and reviewed an the basis of its thematic progress in past research over the years. Special attention is given to Lievrouw's (1990) article concerning the structure versus social process problem to show that both conditions are essential to the invisible college and may be reconciled. A new definition of the invisible college is also introduced, including a proposed research model. With this model, researchers are encouraged to study the invisible college by focusing an three critical components-the subject specialty, the scientists as social actors, and the information use environment (IUE).
