Description

This is the second volume under the title "Organizations and Strategies in Astronomy" (OSA). These books are intended to cover a large range of fields and themes: in practice, they aim to consider all aspects of astronomy-related life and environment in the spirit of sharing specific expertise and lessons learned. The book offers a collection of chapters dealing with socio-dynamical aspects of the astronomy (and related space sciences) community: characteristics of organizations, operational techniques, strategies for development, conference series, co-ordination policies, observing practicalities, computing strategies, sociology of large collaborations, publications studies, research indicators, research communication, public outreach, creativity in arts and sciences, and so on. The text aims to be accessible to those not necessarily hyperspecialized in astronomy, while providing specific detailed information and sometimes enlightening "lessons learned" sections. The book concludes with an updated bibliography of publications related to socio-astronomy and to the interactions of the astronomy community with the society at large.
