A NEW AREA OF RESEARCH

Social studies of science and technology are one of the most important areas of

contribution to the study of science reviewing 457 bibliographic references and

social psychology of science and critical social psychology of science. In the first

processes, and social comparison processes, values and believes systems, ethics in

scientific research, and organizational and institutional context of scientific

research. In the second one: the binomial science/ideology, and science as rhetoric

characteristics of the social psychology of science and about the possibilities of

continuity of this particular area of research.
