Abstract
as a first step, the author gave a quick update on the work of social sciences on scientific expertise in the late 80s. He then assumes that there is a significant change in the 90s: institutional changes related in particular to new social issues of expertise due to the succession of crises and health security issues. The second part of the text is devoted to a review of the work carried out in France during this second period. These two insights lead the author to highlight the characteristics of the research carried out, their strengths and weaknesses and to identify current challenges and priority avenues for reflection.
