Normative scientific conflict is unavoidable and should be welcomed
摘要
The science reform movement involves several different sorts of normative conflicts involving scientific questions, research methods, and the political implications of scientific findings. After a brief review of some of the sources for scientific conflict, we consider internal and external incentives for bad scholarship and conclude with a recommendation of a fuller acceptance of normative conflicts regarding published science. We recommend a broader acceptance of normative conflict in science without expecting or even hoping that such conflict will go away.
