摘要:This article is about the perverse link between the knowledge publication in Social Sciences and their valuation by Academic Tribunals to prove the value for University Posts. The union between a system of scientific judgement and another of meritocracy, much more important in this case, induce to a devaluation of the actual discoveries in favour of tradition, references and conservatism. The result is an academic publicationitis, a fragmentation by subjects and Departments and the creation of a worrying cultural waste land. The change of this system is a challenge for the Scientific Community in Social Sciences.
