Philosophy of Scientific Experimentation 4 (PSX4) > Call for Papers
11-12 April 2014
Center for Philosophy of Science
817 Cathedral of Learning
University of Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh, PA USA
Submissions on any aspect of experiment and simulation are welcome.
This is the fourth conference which explores the roles of experiment in science and the reasons why one experiment legitimately plays such roles. In this conference we wish to emphasize answers to the question, "What Makes a Good Experiment?" One can distinguish between conceptually important experiments, those classified by their relation to theory; testing theory, calling for a new theory etc. and technically good experiments, those that measure a quantity of scientific interest with greater accuracy and precision than had been done previously. Both types of experiment must be methodologically good, experiments that give reasoned and valid arguments for the credibility of their results.
