Call for Papers in Historiography of Science
Transversal: International Journal for the Historiography of Science promotes
scholarly research in the historiography of science and chronicles its
history and criticism. Although historiography of science is a
sub-discipline of History, we construe this subject broadly to include
analysis of the historiography of science produced by history of
science, philosophy of science and related disciplines. By focusing its
analysis on the different historical, social and epistemological
implications of science, historiography of science is a transversal
knowledge with respect to the production of science, hence the name of
this journal. In order to accomplish its purpose, Transversal: International Journal for the Historiography of Science discusses
historical, theoretical, conceptual and methodological aspects of the
different themes, works and authors present in this tradition, as well
as the new approaches in the recent historiography of science.
Open
topic articles may deal with a variety of themes in historiography of
science as long as they are within the scope of the journal. All papers
must be results of original research. Papers previously published are
not eligible for submission, and will not be considered.
Publication of the issues: June and December
Open topic articles, Dossiers and Book reviews are analyzed in a double-blinded system with two or more referees who decide whether the paper should be accepted or not, as well as suggest revisions.
There is no fee for article submission and review.
In addition to English articles, Transversal: International Journal for the Historiography of Science accepts
articles in Portuguese, Spanish and French for evaluation, but after
approval for publication the author should send the final version in
English. If the author is not a native English speaker, the English
version should be accompanied by a revision certificate provided by a
translation service.
