Policy studies

[edit]

Policy studies (a.o. Social policy) are I think a type of applied science (or instrumental science) but then not just natural sciences but the full spectrum. Any ideas? Brz7 13:12, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Theology / Philosophy

[edit]

These are interrelated - Philosophical theology, Theological philosophy - or? Should they be added? Theology has several combinations with scientific adjectives. Brz7 13:12, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Adding scientific adjectives to the table

[edit]

What is the fastest way to add scientific adjectives (i.e. vertical columns) to the table and keep the alphabetical order? For now I copy/paste all new items to the columns of all sciences. Brz7 18:17, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I asked here and an HTML::WikiConverter was recommended. --Brz7 22:42, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am not sure I completely understand here

[edit]

Experimental sciences (which are done in the laboratory) are very different than observational sciences (where most data can not be obtained in the lab) like:

  • Astronomy
  • astrophysics
  • geophysics
  • solar physics
  • stellar physics
  • cosmology
  • meteorology
  • oceanography
  • geomagnetism
  • seismology
  • atmospheric physics
  • ocean physics
  • most earth sciences
  • most space sciences
  • most ocean sciences
  • most atmospheric sciences

Some sciences have observational and experimental components, like evolutionary biology, or botany, or zoology or entymology. There are also clinical sciences, like clinical psychology. --Filll 20:23, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Yes, various classifications can be made, excluding some sciene(s). Therefore initially I propose to add all (almost all: no "Pseudosciences / List of pseudosciences and pseudoscientific concepts" (which may be a source for new sciences..because what is exactly the scientific method)) to the table, which will "create/coin" rather bizarre/exotic names. More and more crossover takes place.
Of course other tables could be made (be bold!) which include experimental sciences (or observational, clinical) only.
I know, it's a jungle out there ;) Brz7 20:25, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
