Seven Potential Researches about the Social Sciences

Summary/Abstract: Continuing the author’s 2007 Educatio paper Four Possible Researches on Academic Staff, the study outlines a research plan based on three sources and three different types of relationships between them. The first research would analyzed the positions (exeminer, leader, employed positions). The second research examines the effects of multipositionality, distinguishing the non-scientific positions within academic workplace, non-scientific positions outside academic workplace, scientific positions outside academic workplace The third research would analyze the world of journals, as in the other cases, distinguishing between the management of journals, the use of journals for publication, the manifesto debate, the lectorship activity, and the editing of thematic issues. In the “reflections” block, we would conduct research on the main function of quotations and critiques on positioning the author in the scientific space. According to the initial hypothesis of co-authorship, there may be three main motivations for this: working together, expressing a covenant relationship, and expressing a master-student relationship. In the chapter of „civil societies” we describe scientific societies in the duality of managers and simple „users”, but – contrary to the world of journals – here the non controlled oralism of conferences plays a role, which also opens the way for an outside circle. Types of power effort not directly related to scientific production are the distribution of money, the sharing of medals, and the control over data.
