Sumario:Howard Becker's book is divided into two parts. In the first one, he gives an account of what he calls the “circle of interdependencies” between the data, the evidence and the ideas that are used when carrying out research in social sciences. For the author, this circle constitutes the core of the scientific knowledge. In the second part of the book, he seeks to specify how errors enter into various forms of organizational division of research: in the national census, in institutions with public officials, in surveys with temporary workers and in academic projects with chief researchers and their assistants. Becker urges not to avoid or naturalize errors and, if they cannot be resolved, turn them into a matter of inquiry.
