The paper presented here explores the possibility of using Whitley’s theory of intellectual and social organization of sciences, in order to understand different ways of web production by research groups. The author compares the webspheres of two different research groups, and traces the elements of ‘mutual dependence’ and ‘task uncertainty’ in different elements of the two webspheres. Mutual dependence and task uncertainty are the main variables introduced by Whitley (2000) in order to explain the different organization of scientific fields.
