Classification, as an object of recent anthropological scrutiny came to prominence during the 1960s, exemplified in the British (constructionist) tradition by the writings of Mary Douglas, and in the American ethno-semantics (cognitive) tradition by the likes of Harold Conklin and Brent Berlin. At the time, these approaches seemed by turns to contradict each other, or even to exist in parallel universes. However, over the last 30 years we have witnessed both a renewed interest in classification studies as well as a cross-fertilization of these once antagonistic approaches. These essay

In this article, we discuss the historical development of various methodological approaches used by social scientists. The well-known divide between the positivist and constructivist traditions is alive and well in the variety of recent methodologies including those discussed in these issues. More recent developments include nonlinear approaches intended to deal with the complexity of the world as it presents itself. The advent of new technologies has expanded the reach of quantitative methods while also increasing the efficiency of data collections and analyses performed by qualitative researchers. Another trend is toward making research findings more relevant to the communities being researched. Innovation is the key theme of each article that is summarized in this essay. The developments captured by the authors presage a brave new world of continuing innovation in social science methodologies.

The system of social science information services in the USSR comprises the Instit of Scientific Information on the Social Sciences of the USSR Academy of Sciences (INION), several branch information services, regional information services integrated into the structure of the Academies of Sciences of Soviet socialist republics, a network of information-processing departments attached to scientific humanities institutions & Us & a number of bibliographical centers. Presently the main aim in the development of the system is its optimization on the basis of clear differentiation of the scientific information institutions' functions. INION coordinates, at the national level, information activities in the social sciences, collects & abstracts Soviet & foreign literature on the social sciences, & publishes abstracts, bibliographical materials, & analytical surveys of scientific literature. INION & its branches possess holdings of literature amounting to 9,760,000 units of printed output, systematically enriched by the local & foreign scientific publications. INION maintains constant contacts involving exchange with 1,557 organizations in sixty-six countries. It is well equipped technically & has proceeded to the first stage in the elaboration of its own integral automated information system, enabling it to carry out exchanges of magnetic tapes & liaison channels. Vast prospects for the European states' cooperation in the field of social sciences information exist. The conference of European centers of information & documentation (Moscow, June 1977) adopted recommendations concerning the problems to be solved in view of cooperation development, foreseeing an expansion of international exchanges of books, abstracts, bibliographies, & microfiches, cooperation in the copilation of international bibliographies, the elaboration of proposals on the international standardization of information, exchange of information on methodology, etc. The European Co-ordination Centre for Research & Documentation in Social Sciences in Vienna could play a decisive role in the realization of all these recommendations.

AbstractThis paper discusses the ethical or moral turn of the social sciences, especially in sociology in the works of Zygmunt Bauman and in anthropology in the works of Didier Fassin. These scholars have embarked on relating morals or ethics to their particular area of specialization. We note that their contributions have highlighted the moral or ethical questions in their respective field works and empirical observations and have produced moral or ethical discourses or frameworks in their respective area or field. Ethics or morality (sometimes) morals is not just a theory but also practice in their respective disciplines and advocacies. This moral or ethical practice is translated into questioning our cognitive frameworks and political consequences of globalization or consumerism affecting some groups or individuals in contemporary world. We shall consider morality as human actions while ethics is the reflections on those actions.

This paper identifies the different funding streams for social science research and the different purposes for which it is carried out. The issue of making research 'useful' and relevant and how this links to different modes of user involvement is discussed. For research users to be involved in research in a real, strong, way requires long‐term relationships to be built between users and researchers. A large proportion of research being carried out within the higher education sector is funded by external bodies of some kind, on short‐term contracts. The argument is put that little time and energy goes into the management of this contract research. The combination of high staff turnover, little management and the decline of the dual support system have made it increasingly difficult for long‐term relationships between researchers and research users to be built up. The paper concludes with a discussion of the role and effect of the Research Assessment Exercise. There are no incentives in the RAE for the creation of the kind of environment within which applied research can flourish—team working, a focus on problems rather than disciplinary issues, support, training and skill development for researchers, and good management.
