Abstract

This editorial describes three possible cases of performance in Library & Information Science (LIS) related to ideas associated with the research. Describes conditions and qualities that practitioners and researchers share and states that to be a researcher must have vocation, desire and drive to be. Here are the ways and alternatives offered in the public-state sphere to start a career in research. Finally, there are several combined components that slow the production of knowledge in BCI in Argentina: low teacher dedication to research, characteristics of entrants, lack of staggered postgraduate studies; motivation on the doctorate. The solution will come with short and medium term planning, with the modification of the speeches and with the undertaking of progressive actions.
