Social Sciences - Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc. / academic abstract
Portuguese term or phrase: são desigualmente prováveis e permitidas
Hi everyone, I'm translating this academic abstract and am struggling with this phrase. Any help appreciated! Thanks!

Tratando do caso francês, esse artigo examina as relações entre disciplinas das Ciências Sociais descobertas durante a árdua tarefa de classificar as revistas francesas de Ciências Sociais segundo disciplinas mais específicas (sociologia, ciência política, antropologia...). A partir do estudo das práticas de auto-rotulação das próprias revistas, das práticas de classificação dessas revistas por um organismo francês de avaliação (AERES) e igualmente da composição de comitês executivos de revistas, esse artigo destaca o fato de as revistas abrangerem frequentemente várias disciplinas , sem que isso implique um desaparecimento das estruturas disciplinares. De fato, o artigo demonstra que as conexões realizadas pelas revistas entre diferentes disciplinas das Ciências Sociais ***são desigualmente prováveis e permitida***.

may or may not be either demonstrable/likely or allowed


Explanation:
This is my understanding of "desigualmente" - just a guess. "Provável" might be taken in the literal sense of 'provable', rather than 'probable', but 'likely' makes for nice alliteration, to match the original. So either one could fly in this (to me) nonsensical mish-mash.

show unequal distribution and acceptance


Explanation:

Acredito que as conexões entre essas áreas sejam permitidas, mas de forma desigual (unequal acceptance).
Além disso, essas conexões ocorrem de forma desproporcional, ou seja, a distribuição das conexões entre essas áreas não é igualitária (unequal distribution).

Fica a sugestão!
