It is true that in a knowledge society one way of measuring the science is to look at the amount of scientific articles produced- Yet, to achieve the status of such society, one cannot rely on a policy of merely increasing the number of articles. In a knowledge society, the production of an article is the result of realization of knowledge and its permeating the fabric of the society. Such production, then, should not be conflated as the cause or be thought of as identical to knowledge itself. The knowledge society is ruled by a form or an aspect of science and what is produced, as books and articles, is the abstract manifestation of an active science which exists in society.
Planning is necessary for realization of a knowledge society. One must not, nonetheless, follow other societies while wearing blindfolds. Because educational and research planning must be suitable with a nationʹs cultural and historical conditions. And, research priorities should be devised carefully to meet the needs of society. In planning science and research, it is also necessary to consider the permissive capacity of a society for absorbing science and to regard the academiaʹs readiness for abandoning the seclusion of scientific rehearsals.
