Discussing what science is and what the measure that will distinguish science from so-called sciences or non-scientific fields should be, is considered as a problem of boundary in science philosophy. This article first examined the traditional approaches to the issue and then found that these approaches ignored the characteristics of the nature of scientific communities. Previously studied science is more regarded as suggestions, expressions or simply an epistemic system and focuses on the characteristics of the scientific theory and the form of the scientific mind. In the context of this discovery, the proposed study emphasizes that a scientific discipline should be based on at least two characteristics (constructive and evidence-based), the proposed alternative measure to solve the problem of border cutting draws attention to the social aspect of science. From this point of view, the main interest of the article is to translate the findings of the social characteristics of science and its practitioners, in order to address the problem of border draw in an alternative way, by comparing with the so-called practitioners of science. The article concludes with the idea that a discipline can be described as the so-called science, first of all, is claimed to be scientific, then not accepted as a research tradition carried out by the scientific community, or should be abandoned by this research tradition.
