This is an ongoing article, that i plan to add to when i come across additional examples, to extend its variety.

It needs Categories and References. EagleFan (talk) 00:53, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for keeping my very first article - what a miracle. What a struggle! The problem with the article now it seems rather devoid of the dynamism an spirit i wrote the original in. It also only covers the corporate side, an so its only 50% representative of its usage. For example, if an author stephen king droped i think his heart my sink. 'Blue sky research' sounds rather limiting, which is why originally avoided choosing that as the title. I dont know, maybe we could do some sort of collaborative revamp.

after all, it looks like the great wikipedia handnt heard of the title till i added an article about. An ive been studying blue sky science for 2 decades! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vcorani (talk • contribs) 17:40, 24 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Subjects section"

Contributes nothing to the page, is frankly meaningless (BSR can take place in any field and on any topic), and is poorly written, e.g. "Owing to its radical nature"... Is there any reason not to delete it outright?

Terminology

"The term blue sky research probably comes from the notion that such research does not relate to what is on the ground realities about rather to 'untouchable' sky. "

This phrase is awkward, spurious, and unsupported by citations. It's need to be rewritten and/or removed. Halogenated (talk) 13:44, 2 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

History

I'm definitely not the person to supply it - but some history going further back would be interesting. The headline title may yet to have been invented, but the balance/mix of curiosity and commercially driven science in eg. the Victorian era would be illuminating.
