**7. Concluding remarks**

Purifying the peripheral knowledge of the science references marks the science in these contexts. The likely local relevance becomes irrelevant when your site is the periphery of the ISST. Thus, although all knowledge starts from certain location, the location really matter where it goes, if it is assumed some differentiation center / periphery in ISST. It is important mainly for the " relevance administration" of scientific products (KNORR-CETINA, 2005). According to this formulation, the scientists always seek to answer, in the introductory

This is an unreasonable15 optimism. The recognition of comparative advantages do not mean that they are used. Also does not mean that it exploitation may be translatable into new scientific paradigms. The construction of a new scientific agenda may have limited its scope or impact to the context of construction, without influencing local epistemes on global dimension ISST. That is to say that it is very affordable, taking into account the history of world science of reproduction, building a scientific agenda with relevance to tropical regions, which coexists the same kinds of problems and to which this new agenda seeks to give answers. It seems, finally, that science coexists with peripheral issue, as discussed in the literature, from circulation (Latour, 2000). Latour and the theorists on *actor network theory* support the argument that to become a fact, every single idea must pass through the hands of a multitude of actors with different interests and strategies, which are not predictable and much less have any commitment to the original idea, which makes it (inevitably) unrecognizable when it circulates. Against it, those involved with the idea must accomplish two things: "enlist other people so that they participate in the construction and the fact that control the behavior expected of them to make their actions" (Latour, 2000:178). It seems to me that the problem of building a tropical science resides in the first case, which thus

Peripheral Science has a low capacity of recruitment of actors, especially those who take strategic positions for the knowledge circulation ISST: journal editors, peer reviewers, teachers and students in calculus centers, entrepreneurs, among others. If the case is to enlist in the tropics, then it brings the problem of low network density technoscientific built there, and the absence of central calculations able to add scientific capital that exceeds the conceptuality of knowledge and technology built. In this sense, it seems that the reference to "tropical context" argues against the ability of movement of knowledge built in this context.

Unless it purifies itself, although, depriving it.

and is thefirst commercial aircraft to operate entirely on biofuel.

the 14-bis and the maiden flight of the Ipanema14 is not just Brazil´s capacity for technological and scientific innovation, but the rest of the world´s appreciation of the potential of that innovation to address some of the pressing challenges that confront us sections of their articles, the real intention of the article. Therefore, for example, it can be summarized the relevance of the research results in what they present as innovative to the field in question, the response of a given disease, the solution to environmental problems, economic, and finally, to the problems mentioned by the scientific agenda which it links.

The relevance of the elaborated practice in the introduction is, above all, a speech phenomenon related to itself, instead of being a phenomenon related to the practice. So, I want to say that the relation of generalized sources that ate integrated to the scientists, to the potato processing industry, to the population who benefits with more and better proteins or to the United States which benefit with the control of the waste, is not related to the practice of scientists. (KNORR-CETINA, 2005:256).

So, it is administered according to the relevance of other elements presented in the scientific and transscientifics, emphasizing what, ultimately, would favor the publication of the article. In the scientific center, the relevance is ensured by the local agenda (global) from the research what makes a legitimate context. In the periphery, it is needed to purify the context and references to local problems. It should, therefore, "manage the irrelevance," giving up the agendas of peripheral research.

It was not advocated in this article the argument of the impossibility of change in the hierarchy of the international science and technology. The calculus centers are shifting and also they are in constant variations, being subject to exemplary works and advanced technology. But, also, it cannot be disdained the tendency that some of the hierarchy spots tend to be constant – as it has been shown along the history of science and technology. Yet, it is advisable to have in mind that within the center of scientific and technologic production emerge another calculus centers, anticipating its global agenda, methods and paradigms – consensual- in the system as a whole, including its periphery.
