“…Nevertheless, sociological and anthropological studies of scientific knowledge and practices have demonstrated that connections between what a scientific community counts as a valid experiment and its relevance to what comes to be taken as (i.e., interactionally acknowledged as) scientific knowledge are established socially through conventionalized discourse practices (e.g., uses of speech and written genres for public presentation of candidates for knowledge, creation of peer-review texts, and standardization through textbook publishing) (Bazerman, 1988;Collins, 1985;Mukerji, 1989;Traweek, 1988). That is, across multiple disciplines studying scientific practices, there is a view that scientific knowledge is public, subject to debate, scrutiny, assessment, certification, or rejection by a relevant community (Duschl, 1990;Longino, 1990;Toulmin, 1982; for reviews see Kelly, 1997;Kelly & Chen, 1999;Kelly & Green, 1998). In a review of sociology of science from varying schools of thought, Zuckerman (1988) explained as follows, "Scientific knowledge is public, not private knowledge; contributions are not scientific until they are made public and subjected to evaluation by qualified experts" (p. 556).…”
