* '''=== Topics === Is it a [[:Category:Topic|topic]] page?''' I.e., is it a page on a certain question that different theories are attempting to answer? Here are some typical topic pages: [[Theory]], [[Mechanism of Theory Acceptance]], [[Scope of Scientonomy]]. If your page is a topic page, then [[:Category:Topic|check here]] if such a page already exists and, if it does not, create a new topic page. * '''=== Theories ===Is it a [[:Category:Theory|theory]] page?''' I.e. is it a page on an individual attempt to answer a certain question? Here are some typical theory pages: [[The Second Law (Barseghyan-2015)]], [[The Third Law (Sebastien-2016)]], [[Epistemic Community Authority Delegation (Overgaard-Loiselle-2016)]]. If so, go to [[:Category:Topic|this page]] to add a new theory.* '''=== Suggested Modifications ===Is it a [[:Category:Modification|suggested modification]] page?''' These pages are usually added by the editors of this encyclopedia who trace all the scientific journals which make use of the scientonomic model of modifications and document those modifications in this encyclopedia. If you are an editor, then go to your ''community'' page first and add the modification from there. All communities are [[:Category:Community|listed here]].* '''=== Communities ===Is it a [[:Category:Community|community]] page?''' First, try to locate the community in [[:Category:Community|this list]]. If the community is not in the system, go ahead and add it.* '''=== Bibliographic Records ===Is it a [[:Category:Bibliographic Record|bibliographic record]], such as a book, an article, or a collection?''' Then go to [[:Category:Bibliographic Record|this page]] to add a new record.* '''is === Authors ===Is it an [[:Category:Author|author]]?''' Authors of all bibliographic resources registered in this encyclopedia are to be entered separately [[:Category:Author|here]].

This <b>Encyclopedia of [[Scientonomy]]</b> pursues three major goals:
# Outline with encyclopedic rigor ''the current state'' of our knowledge concerning the mechanism of [[Scientific Change|scientific change]], including changes in both [[Theory|theories]] and [[Method|methods]] of their evaluation.
# Trace and document ''all changes'' in the field of [[Scientonomy|scientonomy]], as they are proposed and [[Theory Acceptance|accepted]] by the scientonomic community.
# List and outline ''the open questions'' concerning the process of scientific change and thus assist with future research in the field.
The encyclopedia was established in 2016 by [[Community:Scientonomy|scientonomic community]]. Its current editors in-chief are [[Hakob Barseghyan]], [[Nicholas OvergaardPaul Patton]] and [[Paul PattonHakob Barseghyan]].
==Workflow==
This encyclopedia is one among several of the key elements of the ''scientonomic toolbox'', which collectively facilitate the scientonomic workflow. The key stages of the workflow are: {{#evt:service=youtube|id=mWciydFqP_E|alignment=right|urlargs=start=35|description=Gregory Rupik outlines the workflow|container=frame }} {{#evt:service=youtube|id=P5nrMUVxzEE|alignment=right|description=Hakob Barseghyan presents the workflow in action |container=frame }}
* '''Pose Questions:''' The goal of this stage is to scrutinize the current knowledge of scientific change and identify as many open questions as possible. The annual [[Scientonomy Seminar|seminar on scientonomy]] hosted by the University of Toronto's [http://hps.utoronto.ca/ Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology] is currently the main venue facilitating this stage of the workflow.
* '''Suggest Modifications:''' The goal of this stage is to advance our knowledge of scientific change by proposing modifications to it. These suggested modifications are published and properly documented. In principle, these modifications can be published in any journal which uses the scientonomic mechanism of modifications. At the moment, there is only one such journal, [[Journal of Scientonomy]]. This encyclopedia documents each [[:Category:Modification|suggested modification]].

You can find instructions about how to enter bibliographical information in the [[:Guidelines:Authors|guidelines for authors]] below.
== How to Write Articles ==
The first question you need to ask as an author: what kind of information are you going to enter? If you wish to create a completely new page, then what category does it belong to?

== How to Become an Author? ==If you wish have published in the [[Journal of Scientonomy]] or participated in a [[Scientonomy Seminar|scientonomy seminar]] or [[Scientonomy Workshop|scientonomy workshop]], most likely an account has already been created for you. If you'd like to become contribute but still don't have an author account, please [mailto:paul.patton@mail.utoronto.ca email us] and contribute to the encyclopediawe will create an account for you. If you have any questions, please feel free to email the co-editors in chief [mailto:hakob.barseghyan@utoronto.ca Hakob Barseghyan], [mailto:nicholas.overgaard@mail.utoronto.ca Nicholas Overgaard] or [mailto:paul.patton@mail.utoronto.ca Paul Patton].
