Summary: | Providing a comprehensive picture of the field of Expertise Studies, this handbook offers both traditional and contemporary perspectives, and importantly, a multidiscipline-multimethod view of the science and engineering research on expertise. Different perspectives, theories, and methods of conducting expertise research are presented, all of which have had an impact in improving the understanding of expertise across a broad range of domains. The Handbook also describes how researchers and practitioners have addressed practical problems and societal challenges, seeking to demonstrate the heterogeneity of approaches and conceptions of expertise, to place current views of expertise in context, to show how these views can be used to address current issues, and to examine ways to advance the study of expertise
