Studies of scientific practice were the first to investigate scientific practice and science‐in‐the‐making empirically, something that had not been done by philosophers and historians of science. The outcomes of these studies opposed the standard view of science and instead showed how science and scientific knowledge are produced locally and scientists, instruments, computers, and other heterogeneous elements have to work together in order to co‐construct science. They have stressed the importance of materiality in scientific practice and provided material for debate between different ways of studying materiality.
