What is scientific change? How should it be defined?
The field of scientonomy is understood as a scientific study of scientific change. Thus, defining the term scientific change is an important task.
In the scientonomic context, this term was first used by Hakob Barseghyan in 2015. The term is currently accepted by Scientonomy community.
In Scientonomy, the accepted definition of the term is:
- Any change in the scientific mosaic, i.e. a transition from one accepted theory to another or from one employed method to another.

Current Definition
Currently, scientific change denotes to any change in a scientific mosaic, be that a transition from one accepted theory to another or from one employed method to another.1p.6
In Scientonomy, the accepted definition of the term is Scientific Change (Barseghyan-2015).
Scientific Change (Barseghyan-2015) states: "Any change in the scientific mosaic, i.e. a transition from one accepted theory to another or from one employed method to another."
The scientific mosaic is in a process of perpetual change. Most of the theories that we accept nowadays didn’t even exist two or three hundred years ago. Similarly, at least some of the methods that we employ in theory assessment nowadays have nothing to do with the methods employed in the 17th century. Thus, it is safe to say that the process of scientific change involves both theories and methods.2p.9 Changes in the scientific mosaic can be viewed as a series of successive frames, where each frame represents a state of that mosaic at a given point of time. Obviously, such a frame would include all accepted theories and all employed methods of the time. 2p. 9
