EPISTEMOLOGICAL ELEMENTS FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE MANAGEMENT OF RESEARCH IN ACADEMIC CONTEXTS

This document is the result of a research process of some trends of the modern epistemology and its relationship with the research problems, and more specifically its relevance with the disciplinary ground of the research management. Therefore, it is not a long walk, but it compromises some of the main problems around the knowledge production. For example, the problem of the progress of science and other problems about the development of the investigative exercise from megaresearchers to megaresearchs. Finally, it presents an alternative of the research management from the integral management based on the observation of educational institutes and groups of researchers within academic contexts.
