Abstract

This paper is proposed because even though coherentism and internal and external validity are often rigorously pursued in the real-world by researchers and many eminent scientists of repute, the idea of “institutional coherentism” the way we define and understand it in this paper, rarely is. The approach described in this paper probably does not exist in toto or unqualifiedly elsewhere , hence the justification and the basis for this paper. We also provide examples to show why this approach is somewhat different from all other existing theories and approaches in the market, and will naturally, inevitably, and invariably lead us to much better and higher-quality science, and science with a greater degree of consistency as well. We begin this paper by defining what an institution is with respect to science, and provide real-world examples of such institutions. We also revisit various aspects of epistemology like coherentism, holism, internal and external validity, confirmation holism, and methodological holism. Needless to say, this paper constitutes a proper justification of the concept of “Institutional coherentism” as espoused and propounded in this paper, and we hope this will propel science to an altogether higher trajectory, reduce gaps in a multispeed civilization, and lead to scientific progress at the speed of light. This will also we believe, lead to immense cascading benefits for society as a whole.
