31. However, we believe that those who are determined to understand a phenomenon and to follow their research and their intuition wherever they may lead, are on the balance of probabilities, perhaps more likely to come up with new knowledge than those who are trying to solve a narrowly defined problem or to develop a product.
32. It involves also the realisation that the new understanding is new; that no other person shares this new knowledge.
33. Thereafter, unless encouragement is given to publish the new knowledge, its role in the scientific communication process is as an item in a list, or in a subject bibliography, if that subject area recognises the value of thesis contributions.
34. Although much of the research Lord Rothschild was discussing was in more material areas than human behaviour, he recognized the inadequacy of science and technology without much closer integration with the social sciences, so that new knowledge can be used "in harmony with the economic and human needs of the situation".
35. Social workers, teachers who work with children and young people in schools, staff in courts, community centres, housing, social security and health services, are amongst those whose tasks can help to use new knowledge "in harmony with economic and human needs".
36. We need a more active approach to the promotion of new knowledge provided by research... to carry out large numbers of research projects and then put them on shelves and in pigeon holes is appallingly wasteful, as is also the vast amount of information available in hundreds of central and local government reports published each year and then forgotten, and never collated or analysed within an overall framework of reference.
37. Those studying for a PhD degree are expected to generate new knowledge.
38. Artificial satellites and space probes have contributed much new knowledge.
39. Their solution was to insert a new knowledge source.
40. A professional trade union with the new knowledge, the skills and the services appropriate to their needs.
