research
, criteria for scientific acceptance 1. inclusiveness: does theory include all concepts
related to the area of interest
2.consistency: can theory address new entities w/o having its
founding assumptions changed?
3.accuracy: does theory: explain retrospective occurrences,
maintain its capacity to predict future outcomes
4. relevance: does theory relate to scientific function
from derived? is it reflective of the scientific base?
5.fruitfulness: does theory generate new directions for
