Selectivity and Discordaddresses the fundamental question of whether there are grounds for belief in experimental results. Specifically, Allan Franklin is concerned with two problems in the use of experimental results in science: selectivity of data or analysis procedures and the resolution of discordant results. By means of detailed case studies of episodes from the history of modern physics, Franklin shows how these problems can be-and are-solved in the normal practice of science and, therefore, that experimental results may be legitimately used as a basis for scientific knowledge.Franklin, Allan is the author of 'Selectivity and Discord Two Problems of Experiment' with ISBN 9780822941910 and ISBN 0822941910.
