Changes

|Resource=Shaw and Barseghyan (2019)

|Preamble=At the moment, the scientonomic workflow assumes that suggested modifications should be evaluated communally through commenting on the respective pages of the encyclopedia. Yet, as things stand, the vast majority of the encyclopedia discussions involve a select few members of the community. Due to a sheer lack of incentive to comment, many modifications remain undiscussed. This affects the inclusivity of the workflow: while theoretically it is inclusive as all members of the community can in principle comment, in practice it remains far from inclusive as many members of the community lack incentive to comment on suggested modifications. This also stales the advancement of scientonomic knowledge as suggested modifications "sit around, waiting to be discussed, and the status quo remains".[[CiteRef::Shaw and Barseghyan (2019)|p. 7]] Therefore, the workflow needs to to incentivize commenting, for otherwise "the lack of participation thus leads to a conservative enterprise where changes to the mosaic happen slowly, if at all".[[CiteRef::Shaw and Barseghyan (2019)|p. 7]]
