This vision paper reflects on the nature and status of Requirements Engineering as a science, based on recent RE journal articles on methodological foundations and research classification such as [18]. We put this discussion into the wider perspective of ongoing debates in other areas, including social and natural sciences methodology, IS and design research. We propose a new categorization of the notions of validity and evaluation, and suggest a criterial framework inspired by work on the structure of scientific argument.
