Discovery in Communication and Social Sciences: Established Logics, Analitic Strategies and New Techniques of Scientific Evalution
Abstract
This essay ought to relocate discovery at the centre of the research process and problematizes the prevailing research rationales (quantitative/hypothetico-deductive and inductive/qualitative-exploratory) in order to reveal the limited margins that both approaches offer for the conception and detection of discoveries. Finally, the article proposes a series of logics, strategies and techniques for spotting potential discoveries and problematizes the theoretical and technical constraints for their detection and subsequent scientif evaluation.
