== Lakatos == {{also|Historiographical internalism}} Lakatos distinguishes between the "internal" and "external" history of science. Internal history focuses on normative concerns and the reasons scientists can be said to have for accepting or rejecting scientific theories according to some account of the logic of science. External history, on the other hand, focuses on the contingent non-rational factors that influenced the scientific process.<ref>[[Imre Lakatos|Lakatos, Imre]]. (1970).
