The scientific method holds immense potential for fostering prosperity, yet it has faced challenges from within and without the scientific community. This comprehensive reference aims to address these threats and provide solutions. The authors have identified eight crucial criteria for the practice of science, accompanied by comprehensive checklists to mitigate costly failures. This book is not limited to scientists alone; it serves as a valuable resource for all stakeholders involved in the broader enterprise of science. Science administrators, research funders, journal editors, and policymakers will find practical guidance on how to promote scientific research that yields valuable discoveries. Journalists, commentators, and lawyers can rely on this text for assessing the credibility and practical applications of scientific claims. Furthermore, the book offers practical insights and makes significant recommendations for reforms in science policy and administration. The message of this book is further reinforced by Nobel Laureate Vernon L. Smith's foreword, and an afterword by Terence Kealey.
