|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]].

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=Ameer Sarwar, Gregory Rupik, Hakob Barseghyan, Jamie Shaw, Kye Palider, Mathew Mercuri, Mirka Loiselle, Nicholas Overgaard, Patrick Fraser, Paul Patton, William Rawleigh, Zoe Sebastien|Historical Data Precision=Day|Allow Approximate Dates=Yes|Established Year Established=2015

|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.
