Boundaries and Selves in the Making of 'Science'.

Eisenhart, Margaret

Research in Science Education, v30 n1 p43-55 2000

Describes an experience of trying to publish a book whose contents are in some ways marginal to what is normally considered science or science education. During the publishing process, ideas about what counts as science got tangled up with what counts as "credible" science, "marketable" literature, and academic competence. (Contains 26 references.)
