Reports of the Death of the Sociology of Science Have Been Greatly Exaggerated
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Selon les histoires, la sociologie de la science a été complètement remplacée par ces écoles de pensées : la sociologie de connaissance scientifique (SCS), les études sociales de la science, et l'épistémologie sociale. Au minimum, ces écoles de pensées sont considérées comme ayant réussi à dominer la sociologie de la science. Ici nous présenterons des données démontrant que les rapports au sujet de la mort de la sociologie de la science ont été fort exagérés. Comme avec chaque école de pensée, ici aussi on trouve que le terrain de recherche n`a pas resté tranquille. Mais malgré l'addition de nouveaux descripteurs, la sociologie de la science a maintenue ses caractéristiques uniques et ne se trouve pas dominer par ces autres formes.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
