When knowledge becomes the
key for progress and development its generation assumes great significance.
Who generates it and how it is done become important issues, and
particularly so in developing societies. We attempt to understand
both the players and the system of knowledge generation using data
from a longitudinal study of 404 scientists in Kerala collected
in 1994 and 2000. The analysis focuses on changes occurring during
this period in the personal characteristics of the researchers,
their professional activities, and their productivity.
