Summary: Provide a very short description of the community here. If the community is geographically localized, indicate the geographic area. If the community is associated with institutions, indicate those institutions. IMPORTANT: Please avoid any wiki markup, and do not add any references in this box.	'''Scientonomy community''' was initially formed at the IHPST, University of Toronto around the time of the publication of Barseghyan's ''[[Barseghyan (2015)\|The Laws of Scientific Change]]''[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)]] with the main goal of advancing our knowledge of scientific change in a piecemeal and transparent fashion and establishing a proper empirical science of science, [[Scientonomy\|''scientonomy'']]. The community publishes the [[Journal of Scientonomy]], edits the [[Main Page\|Encyclopedia of Scientonomy]], organizes scientonomic [[Scientonomy Seminar\|seminars]] and [[Scientonomy Workshop\|workshops]].
History: Provide a concise history of this community here. Include all the major developments such as creation of journals, courses, programmes, departments, encyclopedias, etc.	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 [[Main Page\|Encyclopedia of Scientonomy]] early in 2016. The aim of this encyclopedia is to track the current state of our communal knowledge concerning the process of scientific change, trace and appraise the proposed modifications, as well as to list all the open questions. {{#evt: service=youtube \|id=P5nrMUVxzEE \|alignment=right \|urlargs=start=748 \|description=Hakob Barseghyan showcasing the workflow \|container=frame }} In September of 2016, the community launched the [[Journal of Scientonomy]] with the first issue published in 2017. An essential component of the scientonomic workflow, the journal aims at publishing original research in the field and collecting all the proposed modifications. In 2017-18, the community was testing and revising the new scientonomic workflow geared towards the piecemeal and transparent advancement of our communal knowledge. In 2019, the community organized its inaugural [https://scientoconference.com/conference2019/ conference] which featured [[Hasok Chang]], [[Jutta Schickore]], and [[Lee McIntyre]] as its keynotes. The proceedings of the conference are published in 2022.[[CiteRef::Barseghyan et al. (Eds.) (2022)]] In 2019 and 2020, the community developed a diagrammatic notation for visualizing epistemic entities and relations. Various visualization techniques were developed and systematized into a proper diagrammatic notation in May 2019, during the ''Visualizing Worldviews'' project funded by ''Jackman Humanities Institute'' as part of their ''Scholars-in-Residence'' program.[[CiteRef::Palider et al. (2021)]] In the May 2020 edition of the program, the notation was applied to high-profile present-day debates on intelligent design, gender, climate change, and race. The community holds its [https://youtu.be/71owGRMclu8?list=PLnOtdGODiXLQdrezPypM7o0JUVeNoxPVw annual meetings] in January or February. These annual meetings are traditionally hosted by the University of Toronto's ''Faculty Club''. ==Road-map== {{#evt: service=youtube \|id=hQE-PdeGNY0 \|alignment=right \|urlargs=start=748 \|description=Nicholas Overgaard outlines ''The Tree of Knowledge'' project \|container=frame }} The ''road-map'' of the community includes: * Refine the systematic ontology of scientific change that will be at the backbone of the database of intellectual history. A series of conferences and [[Scientonomy Workshop\|workshops]] will be organized with the aim of discussing and evaluating proposed modifications to the current ontology. * Launching a pilot [[Tree of Knowledge Project\|tree of knowledge]] project to develop the schema for a historical database, design the respective website, as well as to fill the database with sample high-quality historical data to test the platform and showcase its potential to the broader community of historians, philosophers, and sociologists of science. * Creating a full-fledged [[Tree of Knowledge Project\|tree of knowledge]] website and a comprehensive historical database that would eventually document belief systems of diverse epistemic agents across time periods, field of inquiry, and geographic regions.
Notable Members: Who are some of the notable members of this community. NOTE: If an author is not in the list, please add that author to the system first.
Historical Data Precision: The historical data on different communities has different precision. For more contemporary communities we might be able to reconstruct their mosaics with a daily precision, while for other communities the best we can do is to reconstruct their mosaics for any given year. NOTE: If this is an active community openly endorsing the scientonomic mechanism of modifications, we strongly suggest opting for tracing its data with a daily precision.
Allow Approximate Dates: In some cases, it might be necessary to have an option to indicate that an entered year, month or day is approximate. When a date is approximate, it is preceded by circa, e.g. circa 1050 or circa 1 January 2016. If such situations are possible for this community, choose Yes.
Year Established: When did this community emerge?
Still Exists: Does the community still exist?

Year Disbanded: If the community no longer exists, indicate when it was disbanded.

Uses Modifications Mechanism: If this community makes use of this encyclopedia to trace and evaluate modification to its mosaic, select Yes. Otherwise leave No.

Acronym: Since this community uses the modification mechanism of this encyclopedia, it needs an acronym that will be added as a prefix to the names of the community's modifications, e.g. Acronym-2016-0001.
