Abstract

ABSTRACT STS scholarship has produced important insights about relationships between the roles of peer review and the social construction of knowledge. Yet, barriers related to access have been a continual challenge for such work. This article overcomes some past access challenges and explores peer review normativities operating in the new discipline of Engineering Education. In doing so, it contributes new insights about disciplinary development, interdisciplinarity, and peer review as a site of knowledge construction. In particular, it draws attention to an aspect of peer review not previously discussed – how peer review normativities are shaped by disciplinary origins. A content analysis of peer review documentation revealed that a hyperfocus on methods, which can be traced back to disciplinary origins, continues to be a guiding normativity. However, interviews with editors revealed that they do not acknowledge that normativity. Implications of those findings and their misalignment are discussed, as are contrasts with the history of other disciplines.

学科渊源对新学科同行评审规范性的影响
STS学术对同行评审的作用与知识的社会建构之间的关系产生了重要的见解。然而,与准入有关的障碍一直是这类工作面临的挑战。本文克服了过去的一些访问挑战,并探讨了工程教育新学科中的同行评审规范。通过这样做,它为学科发展、跨学科性和作为知识构建场所的同行评审提供了新的见解。特别是,它提请人们注意以前没有讨论过的同行评审的一个方面——同行评审规范是如何由学科起源形成的。对同行评审文件的内容分析表明,对方法的过度关注(可以追溯到学科起源)仍然是一种指导规范。然而,对编辑的采访显示,他们并不承认这种规范性。讨论了这些发现的含义及其错位,以及与其他学科历史的对比。

期刊介绍: Social Epistemology provides a forum for philosophical and social scientific enquiry that incorporates the work of scholars from a variety of disciplines who share a concern with the production, assessment and validation of knowledge. The journal covers both empirical research into the origination and transmission of knowledge and normative considerations which arise as such research is implemented, serving as a guide for directing contemporary knowledge enterprises. Social Epistemology publishes "exchanges" which are the collective product of several contributors and take the form of critical syntheses, open peer commentaries interviews, applications, provocations, reviews and responses
