metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: Methodological diversity is a condition for the development of sociology since the complexity
  of social reality does not allow adhering to one universal scientific paradigm. At the same
  time, the nature of methodological diversity in research is an indicator of the alignment of
  forces of agents in the field of science. Hence the research question arises — how is the influence
  of the external contour of science (business, public organizations, media, politicians,
  etc.) manifested in the methodology used by the authors of highly cited articles on values? The
  work is of qualitative design and the empirical base was formed by the texts of 42 of the most
  cited Russian articles on the issues of values posted on the RSCI platform in 2016–2019 and
  indexed by international scientometric databases (Scopus, Wos CC). The choice of articles on
  the study of values as an empirical object for assessing the nature of methodological diversity
  in sociology is explained by the complexity and multilevel nature of this phenomenon,
  and the existence of various approaches to its study, which provides ample opportunities for
  various methods and techniques. The research optics was the structuralist concept of the inner
  and outer contours of science. Analysis of the texts of articles showed that the quantitative
  methodology dominates (29 out of 42). In these studies, the signs of the pressure of the outer
  contour of science are most pronounced. The least pressure is experienced by authors of works
  in qualitative design, but there are very few studies in the sample of highly cited articles (2 out
  of 42), and the topic of values in them is optional. Promising areas for the continuation of the
  research are related to the analysis of the phenomenon of imitation in the process of producing
  scientific knowledge and its impact on methodological diversity.
