Summers, William C. (Author)
The papers in this special issue all touch on the broad problems of scientific credit and priority and the historiography of science. My remarks consider the deeper meaning of ‘discovery’, ‘priority’ and ‘scientific credit’, topics of interest to both the scientist and the historian, in light of the centenary of d'Herelle's paper and what became known as the ‘Twort–d'Herelle controversy’. The seminal analysis of these topics by Thomas Kuhn provides a starting point for these discussions on what discovery means and how priority and credit are allocated in light of the fraught concept of discovery.
