BJHS Themes: Call for Proposals
We are calling for proposals for Issue 4 (2019) of BJHS Themes, the annual open-access journal that is a companion to the British Journal for the History
of Science. Like the BJHS, BJHS Themes is published by Cambridge University Press on behalf of the BSHS.
Previous
volumes have included 'Science of giants: India and China in the 20th
Century' (issue 1, 2016, guest editors Jahnavi Phalkey and Tong Lam) and
'Animal agents'
(issue 2, 2017, guest editor Amanda Rees).
We
are looking for proposals of the highest quality for the third issue,
with the successful proposal to be decided through competition. The
deadline for submission
of proposals is 15 July 2017. Publication will be in early 2019.
BJHS Themes aims
to publish open access, high-quality,
scholarly, engaging collections of history of science papers, each
collection of which will address a provocative theme. The journal is
wholly open access - free to read online and normally free for authors
too - funded through a collaboration between the
British Society for the History of Science and Cambridge University
Press. Now is the right time to launch a journal of this kind, because
there is a need for an outlet through which edited collections of high
quality history of science can reach a broad,
scholarly audience. As a rigorously peer-reviewed,
professionally-published, open access journals, BJHS Themes meets this need.
Like its sister publication, the British Journal for the History of Science, BJHS Themes is a journal of the British Society for the History of Science
(BSHS), a major learned society for its subject. There is one issue per year, consisting of more than 256 pages.
