Abstract
What unites science, as Sir David Cox mentioned,
is not the subject matter we all work
in, but the methodology and the thought process
that help solve the problems that arise
[1]. Put differently, it is the replicability of
its methods, the validity of its findings and reliability
of its instruments and techniques.
The diversity in science now emphasizes
that not a single subject matter will work
alone in isolation - especially if you are working
in applied sciences, but has to learn from
others. Even so, contemporary applied sciences
have extended this collaboration to the
social sciences [2]. For instance, in implementation
science they have learnt to involve
social sciences to inform human behaviour if
scaling-up of interventions is to be a success.
