About the journal

Background
For over fifty years The British Journal for the Philosophy of Science has published the best international work in the philosophy of science under a distinguished list of editors including A. C. Crombie, Mary Hesse, D. H. Mellor and Imre Lakatos.
The British Journal for the Philosophy of Science encourages the application of philosophical techniques to issues raised by the natural and human sciences. These include general questions of scientific knowledge and objectivity, as well as more particular problems arising within specific disciplines.
Topics currently being discussed in the journal include: causation, the logic of natural selection, the interpretation of quantum mechanics, the direction of time, probability, confirmation, foundations of mathematics, supertasks and the theory of emotion.
The Journal publishes survey articles on important areas of recent research:
- James Pryor, Highlights of recent epistemology
- Stathis Psillos, The present state of the scientific realism debate
- Nick Huggett, Philosophical foundations of quantum field theory
- Fraser MacBride, Speaking with shadows: a study of neo-logism
The Journal will also publish occasional symposia on contemporary controversies.
Submission of articles
The British Journal for the Philosophy of Science receives over 250 submissions a year. The editors seek advice from the members of the editorial panel and a large number of expert referees.
The new editors have instituted the policy of deciding on all submissions within six weeks of receipt. This is partly because we want to encourage authors to send us articles, but also because we think it is unnecessary, and therefore wrong, for authors to be kept waiting longer.
The editorial team also ensures comprehensive coverage of books on philosophy of science and related subjects and publishes longer review articles on books of major significance in the field.
