What a sad article. Aside from being tautological in its description of what science is (which should make any sociologist of science blush), it gives no indication at all of what the study of the sociology of science is about. It features two footnotes, one from a popular press book by an activist and one from a mid-1970s article in the Am. Rev. of Sociology which I suspect is not being described correctly at all. Very sad. --24.147.86.187 01:07, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
OK, instead of just complaining I tried to fix it up a little. Best of luck with it. -24.147.86.187 01:20, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merger Proposal
I propose that this article be merged within the Sociology article. It's not notable enough and the article isn't expansive enough to be on its own. Beam 23:31, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Noteablilty
While this article certainly is not of high quality, there is a whole field of study within universities regarding sociology of science, and it is frequently not based within sociology departments. It seems to be a realm onto itself, and with some work, this article can be salvaged. Nealc9999 (talk) 18:55, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
