|Question=What is '''employed method?''' How should it be ''defined?''
|Description=''Employed method'' is one of the key concepts in current scientonomy. Thus, its proper definition is of great importance.
|Authors List=Hakob Barseghyan,
|Formulated Year=2015
|Prehistory=
|History=According to [[Employed Method (Barseghyan-2015)|the original scientonomic definition of the term]], suggested in 2015 and accepted in 2016, a method was said to be employed by a community if the community only accepted those theories whose acceptance was permitted by the method.[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)|p. 53]] Thus, originally ''method employment'' was defined in terms of the ''indicators'' of method employment. This definition conflated the fact of method employment with scientonomic means of ''detecting'' method employment.
The definition of the term suggested by [[Paul Patton|Patton]], [[Nicholas Overgaard|Overgaard]], and [[Hakob Barseghyan|Barseghyan]] and accepted towards the end of 2017 clears this conflation.
|Current View=|Related Topics=Method, Theory Acceptance, Mechanism of Method Employment,Method, Theory Acceptance
|Page Status=Needs Editing
|Editor Notes=This needs to be renamed to Method Employment to ensure that it is in tune with the naming convention for epistemic stances (eg. Theory Acceptance).
