|Description=In the context of theory appraisal, the term 'method' has, in the past, been used in two different ways. One refers to explicitly professed rules of theory assessment as featured in the written works of scientists, the other has to do with implicit rules actually employed in theory assessment.[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)|p. 52]] Should Many philosophers and historians of science argued that scientists often acted differently than what their explicitly prescribed methodologies required.
