Abstract
A field becomes a valid science by having a body of knowledge which its members recognize as basic to the field. This knowledge includes a set of research questions which the field addresses, a set of methodologies applicable to the research questions, the small number of basic theories that guide the research and a large amount of detail on techniques, phenomenon and field specific definitions. The methodologies and the theories they embody are what constitutes the paradigm of the field. As research and serendipitous discoveries take place close to and within the membership of the field, the body of knowledge is expanded, remolded, revised and restructured.
