|Question=How should changes in the accepted body of scientonomic knowledge be introduced? What are the steps and procedures of the scientonomic workflow?
|Description=To facilitate the advancement of scientonomic knowledge, we need a transparent and inclusive workflow with clearly stated epistemic goals.[[CiteRef::Shaw and Barseghyan (2019)]] Thus, it is vital for the success of scientonomy as an academic field to have clearly articulated set of norms that stipulate the steps and procedures of the scientonomic workflow.

The purpose of this encyclopedia is to trace, document, and promote the development of [[Scientonomy|scientonomy]], the newly emerging empirical science of scientific change. It pursues three major goals:
This workflow gives researchers a simple way of knowing where the community stands on different topics, i.e. what theories it currently accepts, what open questions it tries to answer, what modifications have been proposed and how they have been assessed. It ensures that our communal knowledge is advanced in a ''piecemeal'' and ''transparent'' fashion:
* '''Piecemeal''': modifications to the communal mosaic are suggested one by one, which allows for a sober critical evaluation of these suggestions by the community.
* '''Transparent ''': suggested modifications and their evaluations are properly documented, so that there is no mystery as to whether, when, or why a certain modification was or wasn't accepted.
The workflow is ''scalable'', as it can - in principle - be implemented in other fields of digital humanities and beyond.
