  1. B. Analysing the dynamics of biosafety research in the EU and the USA Research aims • Analyse how do • cognitive/scientific/technical factors • regulatory context factors • public debate configuration factors interact and shape a policy-relevant research field ? • In a world-wide and comparative scope • Question: Are new scientific patterns emerging under Europe’s precautionnary paradigm ? • has the regulatory gap between USA and EU generated differents scientific objects, problems, suddomains? • Has this generated any added-value for science ?

  2. The database 1. Search in CAB abstracts 1984-2003 topics = (plant* or crop*) AND (GM or gmo* or GE or recombin* or genetically* or transgen* or living modified or LMO* or novel traits) AND (risk* or hazard* or evaluation or asses* or impact* or biosafe* or safe* or manage* or monitor* or environment* or gene flow or non target or co-exist* or sustainab* or health* or release* or contaminat* or spread* or pollut* or persisten* or fitness or into wild population or wild relative* or gene transfer or toxic* or invasi* or non-target or nontarget or beneficial insect* or gene instability or gene silencing or gene exchange or dispersal or escape or dna uptake or encapsidation or transcapsidation or heteroencapsidation or transgenic complementation) OR topics = (food* or feed*) AND (GM or gmo* or GE or recombin* or genetically* or transgen* or living modified or LMO* or novel traits) AND (risk* or asses* or impact* or biosafe* or safe* or manage* or monitor* or health* or hazard* or evaluation or contaminat* or pollut* or toxic* or detect* or quantify*) NOT (plant* or crop*)  18070 items 2. Keep journal articles in ISI indexed journals 3. Filter (relevance: GMP biosafety)  1667 items

  3. Similar output volume …but differents patterns Biosafety research in the USA and the EU

  4. USA : subdomains (keywords clusters)

  5. EU : subdomains (keywords clusters)

  6. Coautorship network in the EU (15)

  7. Coautorship network in the USA

  8. A transatlantic gap in GM crops biosafety resarch…

  9. Continents drift : 1984-96

  10. Continents drift : 1997-99, the turning point

  11. Continents drift : 1997-99, the turning point

  12. Continents drift : 1984-96

  13. Main countries’ biosafety research profile

  14. « gene flow » domain

  15. Geneflow

  16. GM Food safety domain

  17. Food safety

  18. « Detection » research European Network of GMO Laboratories (ENGL)

  19. Other levels of analysis • Scientometric analysis of publications is only a first exploratory level of analysis, other levels are : • Research projects (whether awarded or not) x France (about 200 projects, 1991-2003) x USDA (Biotech risk assesst. prg, 1992-2003, 130 projects) ? Eur. Commission • Research institutions • Scientists individual trajectories

  20. USDA projects

  21. RESEARCH PROJECT :Exploring the history of GM crops biosafety research using relational data analysis Christophe Bonneuil (Centre Koyré d’Histoire des Sciences, Cnrs, Paris) Andrei Mogoutov (Aguidel) Etienne Klein (INRA, Avignon) Fabien Moll-François (Centre Koyré)

  22. 1984-96
