This structure is provided by subject specialisation. Academic science is divided into disciplines each of which is a recognised domain of organised teaching and research. It is practically impossible to be an academic scientist without locating oneself initially in an established discipline. The fact that disciplines are usually very loosely organised my italics does not make them ineffective. An academic discipline is much more than a conglomerate of university departments learned societies and scientific journals. It is an invisible college whose members share a particular research tradition my italics . This is where academic scientists acquire the various theoretical paradigms codes of practice and technical methods that are considered good science in their particular disciplines.
