Research as a practice to develop knowledge and to live by

Abstract

Perhaps the greatest criticism of the current system of research in the academic world, in our context in general, is that we are producing only for the measurement and that we do not really see greater effect of the investigative exercises in the human group in which Is lived and of which the researcher is also part. We are witnessing the emergence of a new discipline called Scientometry. It seems that we have allowed the colonization of the enjoyment of the question and answer by the quantification, we have opened wide the door of the garden of dreams so that the measurability assumes the sense of what we did simply for the enjoyment of doing it.
