Aims and Scope
Perspectives on Science is devoted to studies on the sciences that integrate historical, philosophical, and sociological perspectives. Its interdisciplinary approach is intended to foster a more comprehensive understanding of the sciences and the contexts in which they develop.
Each article appearing in Perspectives on Science will provide the reader with at least two of the three perspectives on their subject. Each issue aims at articles which range over case studies and theoretical essays of a meta-historical and meta-philosophical character. The journal fosters historiographical works combining social and institutional analyses of science, as well as analyses of experiments, practices, concepts, and theories. All papers consist of original research drawing upon the most recent scholarship. Essay book reviews appear regularly.
Perspectives on Science is published bimonthly with about 144 pages per issue. At least one issue per year is usually devoted to a single topic (with a guest editor). All contributions are peer-reviewed, as well as evaluated by the editor and associate editors.
