The Scientific Method is the systematic method of analysis of phenomena, devised to permit the study of repeatable, thus reliable, knowledge. This category deals with the theoretical and practical aspects of the scientific method. We will not admit sites presenting actual discoveries, or their practical and commercial applications. These sites will be automatically rejected.

Submissions to News should focus on current news and research in science and technology. Sites related to a specific branch of science should be sent to the appropriate science category. Aggregators of news from other sources should be sent to Headline News. Periodicals should be sent to Magazines and E-zines.

This category includes sites about the basic laws of nature, such as the laws of motion, electromagnetism and atomic interactions.

Webpages that focus more on mathematics as it applies to physics should be placed in the Mathematical Physics subcategory.

Webpages that focus on the interdisciplinary topic of combining physics, chemistry, thermodynamics and quantum mechanics should be placed in Physical Chemistry

Submit sites about the study of the nature of space and astral bodies in Astrophysics. But, webpages that offer general statistics and data about the universe should be submitted to Astronomy.

Please find the scientific subcategory most relevant for your site. Most publications are listed under subject-specific publications categories that are accessible here via links. URLs listed in this category are primarily for broad-scope journals, magazines, and publishers.

Please do not submit URLs for individual articles and books to this category.

Please submit general science reference materials to this category, such as periodic tables and metric conversion.

Those webpages that cover a single topic area of science, should be listed within that science category.

Please submit sites here that apply to the negative or positive impact that science and technology may have on society. This is not a scientific category per se, but covers the interaction of science and culture, civilizations, and standard of living.

Please attend to the following guidelines to ensure your site is submitted to the correct category so it can be most quickly added to the directory:

• Sites not in the English language should be submitted to the proper language category under World
• Sites for companies offering scientific services should be submitted to the appropriate Business category, for instance if you offer clinical research services for the pharmaceutical industry, use Business/Biotechnology_and_Pharmaceuticals/Contract_Research_Organizations
• Sites focused on a particular scientific discipline should be submitted to the appropriate subcategory under Science, for instance if the topic is educational activities in Astronomy, use Science/Astronomy/Education. Similarly, topics in one of the Social Sciences, such as archeology, psychology and sociology, should be submitted in the most appropriate subcategory in Social Science.

Sites about public policy may be appropriate here; current issues may be more appropriately placed in Society/Issues/Science_and_Technology.

Submit only search engines that specialize in general science topics.

Other search engines should be submitted to the correct subcat of the Search Engines category.

Other science websites should be submitted to the appropriate Science category subtopic.

Please submit only sites with an academic or research orientation into this hierarchy. Most sites for general, rather than scholarly consumption are properly classed under such categories as Society/Politics or Society/Ethnicity.

Do not submit you business site here, unless it is specifically for education and/or training in the technology or Engineering of some aspect of Science or Technology.
