|Description=Scientific mosaics consist of theories, methods, and questions.[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)]][[CiteRef::Sebastien (2016)]][[CiteRef::Rawleigh (2018)]] Sarwar and Fraser have argued that an independent stance, called ''scientificity'', can be taken towards ''theories'', namely that epistemic agents can consider a given theory to be scientific or unscientific independent of the agent's other stances of ''acceptance'', ''use'', and ''pursuit towards the same theory''.[[CiteRef::Sarwar and Fraser (2018)]] The question, likewise, can be asked whether epistemic agents can take the stance of scientificity towards methods. Do they regard certain methods as scientific but do not employ them? Are some methods further developed by epistemic agenst even though these methods are not, at the time of development, considered scientific? Whether or not, and if so, how, the stance of scientificity is taken towards method is an important scientonomic topic of inquiry, because methods form an integral part of the scientific mosaic.
