摘要:The paper pursues two main objectives. First, it attempts to provide a straightforward overview of those branches of science studies that enable us to investigate various aspects of the complex phenomenon of science and to manage it. Based upon the conceptual frameworks introduced, the paper then focuses on the notion of scientific originality and tries to pave the way for accounting for the nature and level of originality in a typical scientific system. All of these, in the end, lead to proposition of a package of suggestions about effective policy-making requirements for enhancing creativity and originality in scientific productions.
