A field that studies science as it is practiced in, mediated by, and transformed through digital technologies—computer networks, simulation, databases, collaboration tools, and artificial intelligence. Cyberscience examines how the internet has changed scientific communication, how simulation replaces or supplements experiment, how big data reshapes discovery, and how open access challenges traditional publishing. It’s not just science with computers, but science fundamentally reconfigured by cyber-infrastructure. The field is interdisciplinary, drawing on computer science, sociology of science, and philosophy of technology.
