• Discussions:
In addition to full-length articles of up to 10,000 words, the journal also accepts submissions of shorter articles in the range of 4000-6000 words, called "Discussions". Discussions have a significantly tighter focus than regular articles, aiming to discuss, by way of commentary, analysis, or critique, a particular article, thesis, or argument published previously (usually in the journal itself). In this way, Discussion pieces advance conversations in the literature without the broader scope or extent of novel theorizing generally associated with regular articles.
• State of the Field Articles:
Studies in History and Philosophy of Science Part A has introduced a new series of articles called 'State of the Field: X,' where X denotes a particular area of scholarship. Essentially, the aim is to give a state-of-the-art, critical summary and assessment of work in an area, synthesizing the existing literature and providing some value-added analysis to give readers a sense of the area's issues, strengths, weaknesses, and where it might or should go in the future. If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions about our page or journal please contact Managing Editor Nevin Climenhaga at [email protected].
