|Summary='''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=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 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==
* 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.
