PROBLEM ADDRESSED

  • Contributions to Developing a Science of Security - We will design and implement an evaluation process for assessing the effectiveness and impact of the Lablet's research and community development activities (McGowen, Stallings, & Wright).
  • Contributions to Security Science Research Methodology - We will examine both the impact of Lablet work on the maturity of the SoS field and the methodological rigor of the Lablet research projects themselves (McGowen, Carver).
  • Development of a Community of Practice for the Science of Security - We will develop methods to assess whether Lablet activities are contributing to the development of a sustainable community of practice for the SoS field (McGowen, Stallings, & Wright).

ACCOMPLISHMENT HIGHLIGHTS

  • During this quarter, we analyzed Lablet publication data from the last three years. One of the Lablet goals is to grow the community of practice involved in the science of security. One of the ways this is accomplished is through collaboration, documented in co-authored publications.  We have collected all the publications resulting from Lablet research that were reported in quarterly reports.  We were able to verify 144 publications between 2014 and early 2017. We then examined co-authorship patterns, looking for multi-institutional, multi-sector (industry, university, government), and multidisciplinary collaborations.  57% of co-authors on Lablet research were from outside institutions.  57% of publications included multi-institutional co-authorship.  44% of publications included multidisciplinary co-authorship. 4% of publications included industry or government co-authors.  This level of collaboration is a strong indication of the extent to which the NCSU Lablet is working to grow the community of practice around a science of security.
