The origin of the "scientific method" as a specific name for a specific
recipe for magically creating knowledge may be found in *The Popular
Science Monthly.*

In the series of articles introducing the philosophy of pragmatism, Peirce
> granted a monopoly on truth to “the scientific method,” which consisted of
> restricting one’s conception of a thing to its sensible effects. This
> method alone, Peirce promised, would carry people past their diverse points
> of view to converge upon a single, certain answer to any question, “like
> the operation of destiny.”
