Science as an object of knowledge has been a central concern of the social sciences since the first decades of the 20th century. However, the object itself is neither static nor unchanging, and has been transformed over time. In recent decades, the innovative approach of gender studies has gained considerable ground in the social studies of science. While some of them have paid attention to the relations of the professional field with the family sphere and have investigated the ways in which structural factors of the life course play an important role in research careers, there are still few theoretical and empirical contributions that think of science as productive work highly articulated with social reproduction. Although this axis of enquiry is still incipient in social studies of science, it is consolidated within the social sciences hand in hand with labour studies and feminist economics. Within the framework of the important contributions made, this paper seeks to review the existing literature and a conceptual approach to the understanding of scientific work and its articulations with reproductive work, taking gender as a category of analysis. The paper is organised in four parts: in the first section we will review the critiques of the concept of work inherited from modernity and we will focus on thinking of science as work with specificities; in the second section we will address the processes of social reproduction in terms of the articulation of spheres; in the third section we will consider the study of gender and science; in the fourth section, we will describe the way in which this conceptual proposal operates in the empirical study carried out; finally, we will present a systematisation of the concepts developed throughout the paper and a conceptual approach to their approach.

The contemporary science in one of the key forces of social development but is more hampered by lack of qualified personnel than by technological resources. The professional scientists most domain certain skills parallels to their specific specialties that constitute a proper craft. Therefore, this additional learning should not be leaved to spontaneity. Universities produce specialists but there is not a scientist as a career. This paper analyzes some of the causes of this problem as well as suggest some alternatives to improve the communication between scientist and university professors [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper is presented how to establish a working system for the achievement of scientific results that characterize a university. These results must be evaluated by international standards, but also they have to be relevant for the impact that they have on the country where the university. The fundamental objective of the present work is the cycle management application for the administration of science identifying at each stage the elements that must be considered. Instituto Superior Politécnico José Antonio Echeverría is used as a case study, CUJAE, located in Havana, Cuba. The results obtained in the last four years show progress in most measured indicators, demonstrating that this process has been developed efficiently and effectively, through rational use of resources, especially teachers and researchers.
