how does soemthing transition into being known?
is it once a scientific paper about it gets published on a peer reviewed reputable journal?
is that the only way? or do alternatives exist?

- drdeca 7y agoWhile I don’t mean to speak negatively of peer reviewed journals, I don’t think “the scientific method” and “getting published in a highly regarded peer reviewed journal” are synonymous. If there were no journals, I don’t think they would have to be created before anything counted as being done using the scientific method. Though, I do agree that peer review is very useful.
