Most models of how science works propose that competition between ideas contributes to the advancement of knowledge. Criticism of scientific work plays a part in facilitating such competition by exposing the strengths and weaknesses of rival explanations, encouraging debate, and suggesting alternatives. Nevertheless, not all criticism has equal value to the scientific process.Reference Type
