Demeritt (2001: 307–337) writes on the problems of what he terms ‘upstream’ science; the creation of epistemic climate and global warming communities, and how members within these communities influence each other and their science.

Normal science, for example, often suppresses fundamental novelties because they are necessarily subversive of its basic commitments. the study of paradigms, including many that are far more specialised than those named illustratively above, is what mainly prepares the student for membership in the particular scientific community with which he will later practice.
