Science and the Sociology of Knowledge
Radio Astronomy Revisited
The Model of Branching
Reply to John Parker
Functionalism, Exchange, and Theoretical Strategy
This study examines the development of functionalism and exchange theory in sociology by looking closely at the work of five major theorists in chronological order. Particular attention is given to variations in theoretical strategy and to the way in which each theorist was led to devise a new strategy in response to the demonstrably unsatisfactory strategies of his predecessors. Intellectural change during this phase of sociological theory is se…
Three Models of Scientific Development
Problem Areas and Research Networks in Science
A general account is presented of the emergence, growth, and decline of scientific research networks and their associated problem areas. Research networks are seen to pass through three phases. The first, exploratory phase is distinguished by a lack of effective communication among participants and by the pursuit of imprecisely defined problems. The second phase is one of rapid growth, associated with increasing social and intellectual integratio…

Over-Production of Personnel and Innovation in Three Social Settings
This paper attempts to establish that three distinct types of intellectual innovation have been accompanied by, and partly produced by, social processes set in motion by over-production of personnel. Over-production occurs when there is a rapid growth in the number of persons qualified to occupy positions involving expertise, without a corresponding increase in the number of positions available. It generates competition among eligible persons for…
Conformity and Innovation in Science
A Study of Some Prospective Scientists
L'auteur rapporte les résultats d'une recherche faite auprés d'etudiants dès leurs premiers mois à l'université afin de déceler des différences aux plans psychologique et social entre ceux qui optent pour une carriére scientifique et les autres étudiants. Aucune différence significative n'apparalt quant à la strate sociale d'origine, l'acceptation de valeurs généralement perÇues comme propres aux professions scientifiques ou la représentation que…
