Investigación en ciencias sociales, humanidades y artes
El problema de la validez en la investigación en las ciencias, el humanismo o el arte moderno se ha convertido, en el último siglo, en un problema que pasa de la solidez de los argumentos o la consistencia de la obra creada, a las configuraciones sociales de las redes en las que se gesta ese conocimiento. Cuando investigar se observa como un problema social, político y comunitario, el problema de la verdad se convierte en un asunto de valoración social sobre el resultado ofrecido, después de procesos altamente formalizados. Justo esta transformación es la que permite que la investigación en las artes y las humanidades entre en tensión con la investigación científica experimental, en la definición de lo que significa investigar.
La construction des Amériques aujourd'hui
Des chercheurs du Groupe interdisciplinaire de recherche sur les Amériques(GIRA) se sont penchés sur les effets de la mondialisation et rendent compte des transformations survenues en Amérique tant sur les plans politique, sociologique, anthropologique qu'historique. Chacun à leur manière, ils s'intéressent aux logiques nationales et continentales d'action collective, aux mouvements sociaux et de mobilisations politiques ou culturelles, et ce, aux niveaux régional, national et international.
Leviathan and the Air-Pump
Leviathan and the Air-Pump examines the conflicts over the value and propriety of experimental methods between two major seventeenth-century thinkers: Thomas Hobbes, author of the political treatise Leviathan and vehement critic of systematic experimentation in natural philosophy, and Robert Boyle, mechanical philosopher and owner of the newly invented air-pump. The issues at stake in their disputes ranged from the physical integrity of the air-pump to the intellectual integrity of the knowledge it might yield. Both Boyle and Hobbes were looking for ways of establishing knowledge that did not decay into ad hominem attacks and political division. Boyle proposed the experiment as cure. He argu...

Philosophical Foundations of Quantitative Research Methodology
This book is a crystallization of author Chong Ho Yu's contemplation on the meaning of quantitative methods from the perspectives of history and the philosophy of science. Emphasizing the importance of a data analyst 'always knowing where the numbers come from, ' Yu broadens the search to include a gamut of questions exploring the foundations of quantitative research. These questions include: How did the Fisherian and Pearsonian frameworks originate? Is quantitative methodology based upon logical positivism? How could statisticians synthesize abductive, deductive, and inductive methods while they are substantively different in their logics? How could researchers make a causal inference while a strong correlation does not necessarily entail a causal structure? This informative book is written for readers with an intermediate knowledge of statistics and philosophy
The Metric Tide
‘Represents the culmination of an 18-month-long project that aims to be the definitive review of this important topic. Accompanied by a scholarly literature review, some new analysis, and a wealth of evidence and insight... the report is a tour de force; a once-in-a-generation opportunity to take stock.’ – Dr Steven Hill, Head of Policy, HEFCE, LSE Impact of Social Sciences Blog ‘A must-read if you are interested in having a deeper understanding of research culture, management issues and the range of information we have on this field. It should be disseminated and discussed within institutions, disciplines and other sites of research collaboration.’ – Dr Meera Sabaratnam, Lecture...

The Challenge of Scientometrics
Scientometrics--the quantitative study of scientific communication--challenges science and technology studies by demonstrating that organized knowledge production and control is amenable to measurement. First, the various dimensions of the empirical study of the sciences are clarified in a methodological analysis of theoretical traditions, including the sociology of scientific knowledge and neo-conventionalism in the philosophy of science. Second, the author argues why the mathematical theory of communication enables us to address crucial problems in science and technology studies, both on the qualitative side (e.g., the significance of a reconstruction) and on the quantitative side (e.g., the prediction of indicators). A comprehensive set of probabilistic entropy measures for studying complex developments in networks is elaborated. In the third part of the study, applications to S&T policy questions (e.g., the emergence of a European R&D system), to problems of (Bayesian) knowledge representations, and to the study of the sciences in terms of 'self-organizing' paradigms of scientific communication are provided. A discussion of directions for further research concludes the study.
