The models describing the behavior of the scientists as a permanent competition are relevant. Nevertheless, these models can't explain all the behaviors of the scientists, but only those which have been "normalized", in line with present market laws. Other models can describe, in part, the usual behavior of scientists, as the model of gift. The description of the scientific behavior allows to understand the scientific world, as well as the processes of description used in sociology: we learn indirectly some characteristics about the sociologists and anthropologists who describe the behavior of scientists. This study shows the coexistence of more than one relevant model of description, as well as many different behaviors in laboratory life.
