Рецензије између чињеница и контекста
Reviews between Facts and the Context

Summary/Abstract: In the first part of this paper we describe the way some scientific text is prepared and published and try to describe a complex way of editing а scientific journal. The problem of scientific misconduct (Metalurgia International), and of the evaluation of the scientific work is mentioned and some solutions are proposed. In the case of the recent scandal over plagiarism of some doctorates in Europe and Serbia, these concepts are presented here and criticized and other, more correct concepts, presented. The evaluation of scientific text is often linked to some theoretical reflection about truth, beliefs, and meanings of the empirical evidence and the way of presenting and evaluating their cognitive values. There are, it is argued, such contexts which, most importantly, are mutually exclusive and incompatible. In addition to such context, it appears that truth and falsehood are losing their independent meaning. Some global context can be accepted or rejected and therefore declared to be true or false, but certain entities that are inherent to these contexts are taken to be epistemically irrelevant and are over determined by the normative definitions of the context to which they belong, irrespective of their isolated meanings and character. In opposition to this, we insisted on the strategy of piecemeal social engineering of Karl Popper. One of the most important applications of this approach is through individual entities, i.e. it is maintained that their cognitive value can be viewed to great extent in isolation from the context.
