The Mix Matters: Exploring the Interplay Between Epistemic and Zetetic Norms in Scientific Disagreement
Although conciliatory approach to disagreement is widely regarded as a norm of individual rationality, its value in the context of collective scientific inquiry is less clear. We should that this worry is misplaced.

More Hope for Conciliationism
In the epistemology of disagreement, conciliationism states that agents should revise their belief upon learning of peer disagreement. I defend conciliationism against recent objections.

Funding Information as Evidence
Recent philosophical work suggests treating funding disclosures as meta-evidence: evidence about the evidential force of first-order study results. This paper asks whether such meta-evidence can be used to improve collective inquiry.

The Limits of Grant Peer Review
The paper challenges the assumption that grant peer review offers an objective assessment of scientific merit.

Higher-Order Evidence in Non-Ideal Epistemology
