|Acceptance Indicators=The theory was introduced by Barseghyan in ''The Laws of Scientific Change'' [[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)| pp. 43-51]] and became ''de facto'' accepted by the community at that time together with the whole [[The Theory of Scientific Change|theory of scientific change]].

|Description=Science is a social enterprise, but [[Scientific Community|scientific communities]] consist of individual scientists. In their daily work, individual scientists rely on and formulate [[Theory|theories]] about the object of their research, and use [[Method|methods]] to appraise their theories. Both the theories they believe and the criteria they use to assess them may change over time. Historians of science have often focused on individual scientists, often those deemed great, like Galileo or Einstein, and the changes in their beliefs as they constructed and assessed theories. The [[Scientific Mosaic|scientific mosaic]] consists of those theories that have won [[Theory Acceptance|acceptance]] by a scientific community as a whole, and those methods generally [[Employed Method|employed]] in [[Theory Assessment Outcomes|theory assessment]]. The scientific mosaic of a community changes over time. Just as life depends on underlying physical and chemical processes, which are in turn constrained by their role as constituent processes of a living system, the level of the individual scientist and that of the scientific community are interrelated in a complex fashion. In principle, scientonomy might focus on elucidating the mechanisms of scientific change either at the level of the community or at the level of the individual scientist.xxxx
