In the last decades there has been a noticeable increase in the conceptual and methodological resources available to the scientist. Among those that are more widely applied it is worth mentioning the algorithms on model selection, Bayesian statistics, causal inference strategies from probabilities/frequencies, computer simulation, or the articulation of mechanistic models. 

The general aim of this line of research is to revisit the epistemological questions traditionally addressed by the philosophy of science (experimentation, confirmation, explanation, realism/anti-realism, objectivity & values,…) in the light of recent resources available to scientific practitioners.
