Scientific Method Process picture

 

 

Scientific method process picture

I find this a useful picture. Can anyone let me know who put it together, so I can acknowledge it properly?

    Looks as if it was made by "ArchonMagnus" in 2008, but happy to get further particulars.

    it would be complete if it only included a 20-page discourse on the relative merits of Kuhn and Lakatos :(

    I like the sound of Lakatos. Seems closer to the actualite. Would you like to propose some alterations? I would suggest that after "Develop general theories" we add "Protect those general theories with auxiliary hypotheses till the process becomes ridiculous"
