CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
\nIt has been repeatedly observed that the \;Empirical Social and Behavioral Sciences (ESBS) \;lack well-developed \;theoretical superstructures\, structures that researchers could apply to generate (point-)predictive empirical hypotheses. The MTR project treats this \;lacuna \;as an important reason to explain\, and to treat\, the ongoing \;replicability crisis \;in the ESBS. \;
\nWe invite submissions from \;any scientific field \;addressing this lacuna via \;reconstructions of empirical theories \;(from the ESBS or not)\, research on \;frameworks \;(or methods) for \;theory reconstruction\, synchronic or diachronic work on \;concept formation/ontology \;in the ESBS\, and \;explanatory accounts \;why this lacuna persists. We particularly invite \;applied work on \;how to go about \;constructing an ESBS theory. \;
\nParticipation \;is \;on-site \;or \;online. There are \;no fees. Please \;submit an abstract \;(max. around \;500 words) plus \;key references \;by \;15 SEPT 2020.
