 ====Scientific Method: Independent of Topic====
 |  The scientific method is independent of topic...  |One can study **any phenomenon** with the scientific method, including claims of telepathy; selection of topic is independent of science -- there is nothing inherently "unscientific" about studying any subject. (Close-mindedness //is//, however, unscientific.) |
 |  ... yet methodology varies significantly by field  |For example: \\ - Illegal to make experiments on living human brains \\ - Difficult to make comparative studies in sociology |
-|  Computer Science	| Direct testing of applications and programs  \\ Models and simulations \\ User-driven studies \\ Mathematical proofs |

 |  The currency of Science  | The scientific paper appearing in a peer-reviewed publication is the "currency" of science.|
 |  Date of publication, reception, acceptance  |In addition to having a particular date of publication, many journals publish the date a paper was first received by the editors, before the revies and revision process started.|
