Authorship Practices and Institutional Contexts in Sociology: Elements for a Comparison of the United States and France
Year: 2003
Type: article
Abstract: Studies of scientific authorship have been developing for forty years. This phenomenon is becoming increasingly well documented. However, most of these studies deal with fields considered in only one national context. This article tries to understand the specific modalities of sociological authorship within two national contexts: the United States and France. The analysis yields an understanding of the logic intimately linking texts and contexts, throwing light not only on the way research and authorship practices are partly shaped by their particular institutional and historical contexts but also on the interactions between cognitive content and patterns of publication.
