GODOY, Luis A. Sobre la estructura de las analogías en ciencias. INCI [online]. 2002, vol.27, n.8, pp.422-429. ISSN 0378-1844.

This work presents an analysis about the nature of analogies in scientific practice. Several perspectives of study are considered, together with functions and the structures of the analogies in science. A structure of analysis is proposed that includes the limitations of the analogical relation and the consequences that result from the analogy. Furthermore, a classification is proposed to identify analogies according to the structure and the limitations found.
