Abstract
This paper discusses an article* that explores the scientific method based on interviews with 52 science faculty members in nine science departments at a large midwestern research university. These interviews led to a description of how scientists go about research, a description that differs from the scientific method as described in most science textbooks.

William S. HarwoodJournal of Chemical Education2005 82 (5), 682It appears that a critique of a previous article is confusing how science is done (the process of scientific inquiry) with the broader issue of what science is (the nature of science).
