Meylan, Anne (2013). The value problem of knowledge: An axiological diagnosis of the credit solution. Res Philosophica, 90(2):261-275.

The value problem of knowledge is one of the prominent problems that philosophical accounts of knowledge are expected to solve. According to the credit solution, a well-known solution to this problem, knowledge is more valuable than mere true belief because the former is creditable to a subject’s cognitive competence.

Its most important conclusion is that credit value is not—contrary to what the upholders of the credit solution have frequently claimed—final value
