Kuhnian philosophy of science implies that progress in the study of open-ended evolution (OEE) would be accelerated if the OEE science community were to agree on some examples of striking success in OEE science. This article recounts the important role of scientific paradigms and scientific exemplars in creating the productivity of what Kuhn, in The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, calls "normal" science, and it describes how the study of OEE today would benefit from exhibiting more of the hallmarks of normal science. The article concludes by describing five proposed projects that would help create a consensus in the OEE community on some good examples of the scientific study of OEE.
库恩的科学哲学表明，如果开放进化研究（OEE）科学界就一些 OEE 科学方面显著成功的例子达成一致，那么 OEE 研究的进展将会加快。本文回顾了科学范式和科学范例在创造库恩在《科学革命的结构》中所称的“常规”科学的生产力方面所起的重要作用，并描述了今天的 OEE 研究如何受益于展示更多的常规科学特征。本文最后描述了五个拟议项目，这些项目将有助于 OEE 社区就 OEE 科学研究的一些好例子达成共识。
