The central text for Lakatos’s methodology is his 1970 text, ‘Falsification and the Methodology of Scientific Research Programmes’. Most of the other key papers have been collected in Worrall and Currie (1978a and 1978b). Also important is Lakatos (1968), The Problem of Inductive Logic, and (1971), ‘Replies to Critics’. A fascinating account of Lakatos’s application of his ideas to mathematics is his Proofs and Refutations (1976b). Howson (1976) contains historical case studies designed to support Lakatos’s position. Another such study is Lakatos and Zahar (1975). Cohen, Feyerabend and Wartofsky (1976) is a collection of essays in memory of Lakatos. Feyerabend (1976) is an important critique of Lakatos’s methodology. The notion of a novel prediction is discussed by Musgrave (1974b), Worrall (1985), Worrall (1989a) and Mayo (1996). A useful overview of Lakatos’s work is B. Larvor (1998), Lakatos: An Introduction.
