{{Community
|Summary=This '''scientonomic community''' was initially formed at the IHPST, University of Toronto around the time of the publication of Barseghyan's ''The Laws of Scientific Change''. The community publishes the ''Journal of Scientonomy'', edits the ''Encyclopedia of Scientonomy'', runs scientonomic seminars and workshops.
|DescriptionHistory=In the years preceding the publication of ''The Laws of Scientific Change''[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)]] (2012-2015), the community would mostly gather during winter [[Scientonomy Seminar|seminar sessions]].
In 2015, the community has started working on the establishment of a proper science of science, [[Scientonomy]].
|Still Exists=Yes
|Notable Members=Hakob Barseghyan, Gregory Rupik, Nicholas Overgaard, Paul Patton,
|Description=In the years preceding the publication of ''The Laws of Scientific Change''[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)]] (2012-2015), the community would mostly gather during winter [[Scientonomy Seminar|seminar sessions]].
In 2015, the community has started working on the establishment of a proper science of science, [[Scientonomy]].
To that end, the community launched the first [[Encyclopedia of Scientonomy]] early in 2016. The aim of this encyclopedia is to track the current state of our knowledge on the process of scientific change, trace and appraise all the proposed modifications, as well as to list all the open questions.
In September of 2016, the community launched the [[Journal of Scientonomy]] which aims at publishing original research in the field and collecting all the proposed modifications.
The community's general annual meeting is usually on the first Friday of the winter semester at the University of Toronto. TODO: embed videos of the 2015 and 2016 meetings.
The ''roadmap'' of the community includes:
* Organizing annual [[Scientonomy Workshop|workshops]] with the aim of discussing and those proposed modification which didn't yield a common verdict.
* Launching a pilot [[Tree of Knowledge Project|tree of knowledge]] project to develop a schema for a historical database, design a respective user interface, as well as to fill that pilot database with some historical data to show how the whole system can actually work.
* A full-fledged [[Tree of Knowledge Project|tree of knowledge]] website and a comprehensive historical database that would eventually include the theories and methods of all historical mosaics.
