Originality, novelty, and innovation are key objectives of research. The challenge is to identify research strategies that are likely to increase productivity and innovativeness in research. Staying in close contact with practical demands and a tight time frame are sometimes considered as key factors for fostering more focused research and for driving up creativity. Critics object that leisure is a precondition of high-quality research and that pushing researchers hard to deliver quickly reduces reliability and long-term orientation of the research. In a different vein, a long-standing debate concerns the relative merits of narrowly targeted strategies versus broad research endeavors that are only afterwards scrutinized for their practical prospects. A more general question is whether research investments can be compared with expected returns.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
