Paul, J.L., Marfo, K. (2001) Preparation of educational researchers in philosophical foundations of inquiry.  Review of Educational Research 71(4). 525–547

“…researchers’ beliefs about scholarship cannot be separated from beliefs about themselves and their colleagues as scholars. Researchers’ values and the nature of their work create the community in which they live. Pluralistic views of knowledge, interests in construction and narrative, beliefs that unexamined tacit understandings privilege and shape behavioral norms in an academic culture, and a conviction that all uncritical discourse about inquiry may be considered morally suspect, will incline researchers to focus on themselves as members of an academic learning community.
