Science - History
Norwegian term or phrase: vitenskapshistorisk
I et vitenskapshistorisk perspektiv.

Dette uttrykket er mye brukt i vitenskapelige artikler. Jeg har til nå ikke funnet noen god engelsk oversettelse for dette.
Eksempel: A sette forskningen inn i et større vitenskapshistorisk perspektiv.

Jeg har funnet frem til at Vitenskapshistorie=History of science.

Kan noen hjelpe?

Explanation:
One of those occasions when the English version is wordier, but this quite common expression is what immediately came to mind and I think it's fine. See the link for examples.

diachronic


Explanation:
In some cases "diachronic" might deliver the meaning intended in the original, but not in all. I am not sure what adjective can be derived from "history of science" but you could probably rephrase it to avoid using the adjective.
