Abstract

[The leading idea of this paper is twofold: (i) claims that progress has been made can be justified, and (ii) progress in different areas has a common structure. The paper proposes two general sufficient conditions for making justified claims of qualitative progress. The conditions are first presented in their strict form, assuming a specific target. They are then applied to theory-oriented research aiming at nomic truth approximation as well as to design research aiming at a certain product or process.]
