Open publisher page 3 citations

Abstract

Lakatos' methodology of scientific research program is developed after absorption from Kuhn's Normal Science and revisement of Popper's Naive Falsificationism,and it is made of the hard core and the protective belt of auxiliary hypothesis.Thereafter,many scientists and theorists judge whether the scientific theory is progressive by applying the Lakatos' methodology of scientific research program.However,many problems need to be solved urgently for the scientific research program.And it is imminent to integrate and reconstruct the theoretical connotation of scientific research program.
