The objective of this study is to investigate the different practices of research in Social Psychology in Rio Grande do Sul in today s scenario and according to the publication policies in periodicals established by the Improvement Coordination of Higher Education Personnel (known as CAPES). The dissertation comprises two studies: the first seeks to problematize the discourse of neutral and objective scientific development and its effects in the construction of the contemporary Brazilian academic knowledge through the writing of an essay supported by social constructionism. Assuming that scientific development is the result of a social construction and thus is not only a fact but a fact full of value that reflects a worldview, evidencing an ideology and revealing the marks of the historical context in which it inserts itself. Therefore, addressing practices such as: the technicality of scientific language, the corporatization of the academy and of many intellectuals who base their practices according to a capitalist logic; academic productivism and the consequent curriculum management, as well as the phenomenon of academic internationalization. Marked by such practices, the dominant discourse associated with scientific development may have as result the academic practices which consist notions of science and scientific criteria supported by the perspectives of neutrality and objectivity, which implies a process of naturalization. The second part discusses the epistemological diversity and scientific criteria presented in publications in journals (2009-2012) in the area of Social Psychology. To formulate this argument, a desk research was conducted associating the publications of research professors of post-graduate programs established in Rio Grande do Sul with Qualis periodicals classifications formulated by the CAPES Program. Thus, this study seeks to contribute to discussions about the social processes that provide epistemological protagonisms. Therefore, throughout this paper we show how the policies can provide homogeneous Qualis scientific criteria which, especially in Social Psychology, provide greater visibility to epistemologies that favor the construction of patterns and a priori expectations for social behavior.
