D. J. de Solla Price

D. J. de Solla Price was a historian of science and information pioneer who studied how scientific knowledge develops and spreads. He is best known for inventing the "science bottleneck" model, which explains how scientific progress often slows due to increasing complexity and specialization. Price also analyzed the growth of scientific publications, highlighting exponential patterns similar to population growth. His work helps us understand the dynamics of scientific discovery, the influence of technology on knowledge sharing, and the structure of research communities, providing valuable insights into how science evolves over time.
