KNOWLEDGE EXPLOSION, KNOWLEDGE PRODUCTION AND PEER REVIEW. TRENDS IN SOME SOCIAL SCIENCE LOCATIONS: AN EXPLORATORY STUDY

Summary/Abstract: This paper examines knowledge explosion, knowledge production and peer review trends in some social science locations. The research design is exploratory. It is held in the work that knowledge explosion in some paradoxical trajectories possesses integral challenges. Some of these intrinsic questions of knowledge explosion border on evolutionary tendencies in knowledge production. The next research variable inherent in the knowledge production component of the work is peer review. The paper consequently identifies some untoward trends in social science peer review in the focus-locations. The trend-observations in the paper are not in any way exhaustive. The work thus proposes further research undertakings on the subject matter, in continuity of the embedded debates.
