Here's a new paper published in the December issue of First Monday. The table of contents:

Introduction: Free Software as a Problem of Value and Reputation
Like Science
Credit and Reputation in Science
Citations and Reputations: Metaphors of Currency and Property
Conclusion: Further Thoughts on Reputation and Currency

Some excerpts:

Over the last few years, as the Open Source/Free Software movement has become a constant in the business and technology press, generating conferences, spawning academic investigations and business ventures alike, one single question seems to have beguiled nearly everyone: "how do you make money with free software?" If the question isn't answered with a business plan, it is inevitably directed towards some notion of "reputation".

... this paper examines ... some works in ... science that have encountered remarkably similar problems ... and [compares science and software] with respect to their "currencies" and "intellectual property".
