Pioneering the Science of Science
This Kellogg Center is the first academic hub of its kind to bring together the world’s foremost experts in science of science and innovation.
Science of Science & Innovation
Science Takes a Leap Inward
The Center for Science of Science & Innovation (CSSI) is a multidisciplinary community for thought leaders in such fields as computational social science, network science, artificial intelligence and complex systems. More than ever, modern science is playing a critical role in driving the growth and innovation of businesses and economies around the world. Our team uses this proliferation of data to understand successes in innovation and teamwork, while also predicting scientific impact and knowledge production.
CSSI collaborators take scientific methods and turn them upon science itself to establish a systematic, quantitative framework that can make sense of mass quantities of data and identify emerging patterns. Armed with big data spanning all phases of scientific production, a defining feature of our work is a mechanistic approach to developing models that can uncover fundamental patterns in science. By combining our diverse expertise and approaches, the results of this center will lead to a qualitative shift in the way knowledge is discovered, science is funded, scientists are trained and nurtured, and excellence is recognized and rewarded.
Thought Leadership on the Science of Science
Discover our faculty's latest explorations in the field of science of science. Published in Kellogg Insight, the Kellogg School of Management's magazine on faculty research and expertise, this collection of work delves into such areas as teamwork, collaboration, innovation, careers and gender dynamics.
We are living in an exciting era where big data permeates every corner of our society and is increasingly essential for human decision-making. This emerging, multidisciplinary field leverages new large-scale datasets and draws tools from complexity sciences and artificial intelligence to help us better understand the fundamental principles underlying the success and failure of innovation.

Featured CSSI Research
Large teams develop and small teams disrupt science and technology
One of the most universal trends in science and technology today is the growth of large teams in all areas, as solitary researchers and small teams diminish in prevalence.
Toward a More Scientific Science
Members of the CSSI team discuss how today’s practices, policies and resources are still rooted in traditions and intuitions rather than evidence, and why we must work to do better.
Emergence of scaling in complex substitutive systems
Here we find that, for subjects ranging from mobile handsets to automobiles and from smartphone apps to scientific fields, early growth patterns follow a power law with non-integer exponents.
Quantifying Long-Term Scientific Impact
The CSSI team developed a mechanistic model to explore the long-term predictability of citation patterns, the results of which indicate that all papers tend to follow the same universal temporal pattern.
The evolution of citation graphs in artificial intelligence research
As artificial intelligence (AI) applications see wider deployment, it becomes increasingly important to study the social and societal implications of AI adoption.
A century of physics
An analysis of Web of Science data spanning more than 100 years reveals the rapid growth and increasing multidisciplinarity of physics — as well its internal map of subdisciplines.
