1/3📄🚨 Our new preprint on #ScienceMapping is out on @SocArXivBot: "Mapping Knowledge Topic Analysis of Science Locates Researchers in Disciplinary Landscape". We decompose disciplinary classification into three principles of epistemological distinction - Culture-Nature, Life-Non-life, and Materials-Methods - and replace the categorical system of disciplines with a continuous measure of topic orientations of individual researchers. #ScienceOfScience #SociologyOfScience

How interested are scientists in the truth?

Mizrahi (2021) analysed the text of scientific papers and found that “scientists use the terms ‘knowledge’ and ‘understanding’ significantly more often than the term ‘truth’ when they talk about the aims or goals of scientific research in their published works."
