  1. Modeling in the Social Sciences: Interdisciplinary Comparison.Erika Mansnerus - 2013 - Perspectives on Science 21 (2):267-272.
    Building energy models result from interdisciplinary expertise and collaboration. In order to understand this, models are best seen as narrative devices, capable of integrating various ingredients and to address both research questions and policy initiatives. Shipworth's account of models as sausage machines that can potentially mix ingredients challenges us to reevaluate the epistemological consequences of the use of models as interdisciplinary tools. Models tell stories to different audiences, and through stories, they integrate available expertise to highlight the key findings or (...)

  • Derivational Robustness and Indirect Confirmation.Aki Lehtinen - 2018 - Erkenntnis 83 (3):539-576.
    Derivational robustness may increase the degree to which various pieces of evidence indirectly confirm a robust result. There are two ways in which this increase may come about. First, if one can show that a result is robust, and that the various individual models used to derive it also have other confirmed results, these other results may indirectly confirm the robust result. Confirmation derives from the fact that data not known to bear on a result are shown to be relevant (...)

  • Zum Aufbau der Atmosphärenwissenschaften in der BRD seit 1968On the formation-process of the Atmospheric Sciences in the FRG since 1968.Gregor Lax - 2016 - NTM Zeitschrift für Geschichte der Wissenschaften, Technik und Medizin 24 (1):81-107.
    This article examines the formation-process of the atmospheric sciences in the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) with a particular focus on the 1970’s, when atmospheric research expanded massively on an institutional, methodological and conceptual level. Up until now this episode is just rudimental studied historically or sociologically, especially for the FRG. The formation of the atmospheric sciences will be illustrated by two case studies: the foundation and development since 1968 of the first department of atmospheric chemistry in the Max Planck (...)
