How can models do well for the common good? Narratives and counter-narratives are possible to answer the question. The latter are taken here to argue that models may misuse their epistemic authority for reasons of occasion, opportunity and interest. A solution calls for the involvement of more disciplines and actors, but these are not by themselves sufficient due to the present governance, practice and circumstances of science. Short of a radical reset, or Reformation, change will be difficult.
期刊介绍:
Environmental Modelling & Software publishes contributions, in the form of research articles, reviews and short communications, on recent advances in environmental modelling and/or software. The aim is to improve our capacity to represent, understand, predict or manage the behaviour of environmental systems at all practical scales, and to communicate those improvements to a wide scientific and professional audience.
