Abstract :
The core objective of this paper is to
investigate and propose methods and means through
which various classes of innovative and creative thinking
techniques which include both existing techniques in
popular current usage, and those yet to be
conceptualized and theorized can be baked into scientific
method both integrally and intrinsically, and in a natural
and a harmonious fashion. This we believe can lead to
faster and more comprehensive scientific progress across
disciplines and geographies and usher in a new era of
scientific research by increasing the rate of scientific
output. We begin this paper by carrying out a brief
overview of the key concepts of scientific method, its
characteristics and its history, and also refer to our
previous observations and discussions on scientific
method by referencing our previously published works
over the years. We also define and propose categories of
individuals by whom we believe this approach can be
meaningfully adopted and implemented, and also lay
bare the purported objectives of this approach. Last but
not the least, we review existing approaches to innovative
and creative techniques, and drive home a very crucial
and a critical point: the entire field of creative and
innovative techniques is apparently in its infancy yet,
and more innovative and creative techniques need to be
conceptualized and gestated in the years and decades to
come including those specific to scientific theorization.
