Engineers and scientists often seek to use their work to benefit society, but they face difficulty in tracing the benefits of research and development. Assessing the technical and societal outcomes of research and development is an old and continuous challenge . Bozeman and Sarewitz argue that formal economic calculations — like tracking patent and publications counts — cannot fully capture the impact that a technological development brings. Instead, they argue for "public value mapping:" causally "mapping" specific research and development activities to public goods by employing social scientists to conduct historical case studies of those innovation areas. Case studies and qualitative research in general thus present a way to both understand the benefits of past research and find the sources of innovation and the causal links between how research and development connects to public goods.
