espanolEste articulo trata de resituar el descubrimiento como centro del proceso de investigacion y problematiza las logicas de investigacion hoy dominantes (cuantitativa/hipotetico-deductiva e inductiva/cualitativa-exploratoria), con el objetivo de revelar el limitado margen que ambas aproximaciones ofrecen para la concepcion y deteccion de descubrimientos. El ensayo propone una serie de logicas, estrategias y tecnicas con las que descifrar potenciales descubrimientos y problematiza los condicionantes teoricos y tecnicos para su deteccion y posterior evaluacion por pares. EnglishThis essay ought to relocate discovery at the centre of the research process and problematizes the prevailing research rationales (quantitative/hypothetico-deductive and inductive/qualitative-exploratory) in order to reveal the limited margins that both approaches offer for the conception and detection of discoveries. Finally, the article proposes a series of logics, strategies and techniques for spotting potential discoveries and problematizes the theoretical and technical constraints for their detection and subsequent scientif evaluation. portuguesThis essay attempts to relocate discovery at the centre of the research process and problematizes prevailing research rationales (quantitative/hypothetico-deductive and inductive/qualitative-exploratory) in order to reveal the limited margins that both approaches offer for the conception and detection of discoveries.
