摘要

Genetic materials containing functional units of heredity became vital for scientific knowledge production as well as industrial innovation in modern science (Stern 2004; ten Kate 2002). Given the significance of genetic materials in science, various policy measures have been devised to promote sharing of genetic materials and research tools among scientists; they include funding agency policy (e.g., National Institutes of Health) that requires funding awardees to make data and research materials available to peers (Marshall 1998, 1999; NIH 1999), and more collective efforts to establish open databases or gene banks in order to collect, store, and distribute genetic materials as well as associated information for a broader range of stakeholders (Atkinson et al. 2003; Stern 2004). In agriculture and food research, advanced science based on open access to genetic materials and information has been advocated not only for benefit of the scientific community but also for ultimate societal benefits, such as agricultural productivity, food safety and public health (Atkinson et al. 2003; Glenna et al. 2007; Lei, Juneja, and Wright 2009).;Acknowledging the need to develop a comprehensive view, this research aims to investigate socio-ecological factors shaping scientists' access to genetic materials. As a way to understand accessibility of genetic materials in science, this research examines exclusive sharing of genetic materials among scientists. Exclusive sharing is defined as a specific situation in which agricultural scientists provide genetic materials to a selected person but do not allow the materials to be shared with a third party.;This dissertation employs quantitative methods to understand the antecedents and consequences of researchers' exclusive material-sharing. Structural equation models and probit regression models are used to examine the process through which researchers decide not to transfer the obtained genetic materials to a third party and generate a particular research outcome.;Theoretically, this dissertation makes several contributions to the study of material-sharing and research management by developing a concept of exclusive sharing and a comprehensive socio-ecological framework explaining exclusive sharing. Attention on exclusive sharing would be particularly useful in order to uncover the specific contexts in which individual scientists engage in material-withholding as well as material-sharing and develop confidential collaboration arrangements. This study of exclusive sharing advances our understanding of the micro-level process by which individuals are included and excluded, delineate boundaries of sharing, and distinguish in-groups from out-groups. It also sheds light on the critical moment at which access to genetic materials begins to be blocked from a third-party. This helps understand the specific contexts that promote a transition in the status of genetic materials, from public or common goods available to the public, to private or club goods available only to selected entities.;This dissertation is organized in six chapters. Chapter one is an overview of this dissertation. It introduces the background that motivates this research of exclusive sharing, and specifies its scope, objectives, and key research questions. It then explains the research designs employed to answer the key research questions, and elaborates the significance of this study. The outline of this dissertation is also presented in the end of Chapter one. (Abstract shortened by UMI.).
