History of Scientific Change (Barseghyan-2015) states: "A descriptive discipline that attempts to trace and explain individual changes in the scientific mosaic."

To reconstruct the state of a mosaic at time t, it is necessary to understand which theories were accepted at the time, and which methods were employed at the time. 1p. 12 This process is the concern of historical (empirical) questions. Theory of scientific change, although closely linked is concerned with theoretical questions. History of Scientific Change is one of the key concepts in current scientonomy.
