Research on Scientific Practice

Research on scientific practice studies how scientists actually work—how they develop hypotheses, design experiments, analyze data, and communicate findings. It aims to understand the methods, decisions, and challenges involved in doing science to improve its reliability, transparency, and efficiency. By observing and analyzing real-world scientific activities, researchers seek to identify best practices, common pitfalls, and ways to enhance scientific rigor, ultimately supporting the advancement of trustworthy and impactful scientific knowledge.
