In Systematics as Cyberscience, Christine Hine explores these questions by examining the use of information and communication technology development in one discipline, systematics (which focused on the classification and naming of organisms and the exploration of evolutionary relationships). his sociological study of how a biologist who worked in this field have been involved with new technologies is an account of how one of the oldest branches of science transformed itself into one of the newest and become a cyberscience. Combining ethnographic approach with a review of historical and textual analysis, Hine investigate the emergence of virtual cultures in systematics and how that new culture interwoven with the existing field practices and priorities. Hine examines the policy perspective on changes in technology, material culture systematics (and how the culture of virtual parallel with it), communication practices with new technology, and the complex dynamics of change and continuity at the institutional level.
