Scientific consensus is a crucial social mechanism, facilitating science's future prospects and research projects. But not only this, scientific consensus holds implications for a key success designator in science: scientific objectivity. More specifically, scientific consensus and scientific objectivity can be at odds. Yet both are commonly seen as crucial for science. I suggest that consensus can hinder scientific objectivity.vi, 93 leaves ; 30 cm.engUniversity of Calgary graduate students retain copyright ownership and moral rights for their thesis.
