The papers in this special issue all touch on the broad problems of scientific credit and priority and the historiography of science. My remarks consider the deeper meaning of ‘discovery’, ‘priority’ and ‘scientific credit’, topics of interest to both the scientist and the historian, in light of the centenary of d'Herelle's paper and what became known as the ‘Twort–d'Herelle controversy’. The seminal analysis of these topics by Thomas Kuhn provides a starting point for these discussions on what discovery means and how priority and credit are allocated in light of the fraught concept of discovery.

本期特刊中的论文都涉及科学信誉和优先权以及科学史学的广泛问题。我的发言考虑了“发现”，“优先”和“科学信​​誉”的更深层含义，根据d'Herelle论文的百年历史以及后来被称为“ Twort- d'Herelle争议'。托马斯·库恩（Thomas Kuhn）对这些主题进行的开创性分析为有关讨论意味着什么以及根据烦恼的发现概念如何分配优先级和信誉提供了起点。
