|Preamble=The field of scientonomy has, thus far, underappreciated the nuances of communities and subcommunities holding authority over different elements of a common mosaic. There exist many cases in the history of science where the mosaic of a community or subcommunity will contain a number of propositions that have not been formulated by members of that community. For instance, within the art world, the ''art market community'' holds beliefs about the authenticity of certain works of art. However, the art market community do not themselves investigate claims on matters of authenticity; rather, they rely on research from the ''art expert community''. The concept of ''authority delegation'' was formulated in order to better reconstruct the communicative and authoritative structure that exists between these, and other, scientific communities.
|To Accept=Authority Delegation (Overgaard-Loiselle-2016),

|Date Assessed Approximate=No
|Verdict Rationale=There was a community consensus that the concept of ''authority delegation'' is a significant contribution to scientonomy, as it "sheds light on the mechanism by which the more ''local'', specialized mosaics of epistemic/scientific sub-communities gives rise to the more ''global'' scientific mosaic (of *the* Scientific Community), and all in terms of theories and methods" <sup>[[Modification_talk:Sciento-2016-0003#comment-19|c1]]</sup> It was also noted that the concept "has already been tacitly accepted by our community" <sup>[[Modification_talk:Sciento-2016-0003#comment-22|c2]]</sup> as it has been taken as accepted by scientonomists in their research. One further suggestion was to continue refining the concept of authority delegation by focusing on cases "where the delegating community applies its own additional criteria before accepting what the experts tell them".<sup>[[Modification_talk:Sciento-2016-0003#comment-32|c3]]</sup>
