A core, constitutive norm of science is to remove or remedy the artefacts in one's data. Here, we consider examples of artefacts from many fields of science (for example, astronomy, economics, electrophysiology, psychology, and systems neuroscience) and discuss their contribution to a more general evidential selection problem at the heart of the epistemology of evidence. Synthesizing and building on previously disparate discussions in many areas of the philosophy of science, we provide a novel, causal-pragmatic account that fits the examples and clarifies the practices by which artefacts are discovered and remedied
