From the Paper:

"Knowledge is being produced in the modern world at a faster rate than ever before, with some being global knowledge, in that it is produced in a foreign nation, and domestic knowledge being termed locally produced knowledge. Locally produced knowledge increases as a society moves towards becoming a knowledge society, as opposed to an agrarian one for example. Social science research production within a society is an accurate gauge as to the level of modernization within the society, due to the prerequisites to said social science research.
