CFP: Interdisciplinary Science Reviews

ISR is a quarterly journal that aims to set contemporary and historical developments in the sciences and technology into their wider social and cultural context and to illuminate their interrelations with the humanities and arts. ISR seeks out contributions that measure up to the highest excellence in scholarship but that also speak to an audience of intelligent non-specialists. It actively explores the differing trajectories of the disciplines and practices in its purview, to clarify what each is attempting to do in its own terms, so that constructive dialogue across them is strengthened. It focuses whenever possible on conceptual bridge-building and collaborative research that nevertheless respect disciplinary variation.

Most issues of ISR are thematic and commissioned in advance. Proposals for issues, which usually contain 6-8 articles of ca 6,000 words each, are welcome and should be sent to the Editor. Often a collection of worthy papers arises from a conference, colloquium or the like. Currently issues for 2015-16 are being planned. In addition ISR usually has one open issue per year for which individual submissions on any topic within the scope of the journal are welcome. This certainly includes articles on research in digital humanities.

ISR 39.2 (June 2014) is the next open issue, for which submissions would be most welcome. Final material for this issue is due to the publisher in March 2014, so first drafts need to be ready for peer-reviewing by mid to late Autumn 2013. Enquiries are welcome.

ISR dedicates space in each issue for book reviews. Please send any enquiries about book reviewing to ISR's Book Reviews Editor, Dr Paul Bohan Broderick [email protected].
