The term ‘epistemic trespassing’ has recently been coined to denote a person’s judgments regarding a domain where they are not epistemic experts. In this paper, I focus on expert trespassing testimony – that is, testimony by an expert in a domain of expertise other than his own. More specifically, I focus on intra-scientific trespassing testimony between scientific collaborators. By developing a number of distinctions, I argue that while intra-scientific trespassing testimony may seriously hamper scientific collaboration, it does not invariably do so and may even be beneficial to it.

科学合作中的非法侵入证词

最近创造了“认知侵入”一词来表示一个人对他们不是认知专家的领域的判断。在本文中，我将重点放在专家侵入证词上——也就是说，专家在他自己的专业领域之外的证词。更具体地说，我专注于科学合作者之间的科学内部侵入证词。通过发展一些区别，我认为虽然科学内部的侵入证词可能会严重阻碍科学合作，但它并非总是如此，甚至可能对其有益。
