community etc. had been constant in the history of science. Is science nowadays able to accept criticism and implement arguments of knowledge beyond the institutionalized standards? Throughout this article we argue that personal involvement creates biased scientific facts; acknowledging and applying tacit

How do we explain mathematical explanation of scientific facts?

by Daniele Molinini , 2008
"... During the last years the discussion concerning mathematical explana-tion has become of much importance in the philosophy of mathematics.

All authors contributed equally to this work Abstract. Publication formats are being sought that facilitate automatic processing and knowledge integration and are better suited to the current pace of research. Here we present an infrastructure for producing and consuming minimal publishable units, nano-publications, directly from a researcher’s electronic notes or manuscripts which allow the integration of multiple resources. We describe a feedback loop resulting from the use of nano-publications, give a detailed example, and explain how this can be combined with existing web technologies. 1
