Abstract : We begin this paper by providing the reason for the authorship of this paper. We need to articulate the concepts of this paper because although the concept of epistemic coherentism indeed exists, it is not always rigorously and assiduously followed in the real world particularly in this day and age of interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research. We therefore commence our work by reviewing concepts pertaining to coherentism both in general daily usage, and as it pertains to scientific epistemology. We must also add a cautionary note at the very outset, and it is that we may not agree in whole part, or may beg to differ partially with the concepts of epistemic coherentism as they exist today, though the foundation and the fundamentals may remain the same. We also seek to bring to the table, an altogether new value proposition by drawing on our previous proposals pertaining to institutional coherentism, methodological inductivism, foundationalism and intergrationism. Our paper on advocating output criteria based scientific and research methodologies is also suitably referenced for this purpose, along with some other random concepts we have been proposing off and on, though they are admittedly less important from the point of view of this paper. Our proposals therefore represent a common sense based approach to modern, contemporary interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary science, and it is for this very reason that we review the latter concepts briefly as well. In this paper, we endeavour to eschew all forms of nerdism and put forth an all-encompassing pragmatic approach that will serve the needs of science and society very well. Readers can gauge for themselves how far we have achieved and accomplished these objectives.
