The last questions in the guidelines (see the preface) concern the issue of demarcation - or boundary drawing of the chemical societies. The authors considered how and to what extent the individual chemical societies reacted to the ongoing and incessantly negotiated social and professional demarcation of chemistry as a disdphne and a specific social entity. For the sake of simplicity the authors deliberations were based on the sociological theory of Thomas Gieryn (again, see the preface).
