Instructions to Authors
Information for Contributors
Social Studies of Science encourages submissions of original research on science, technology, and medicine. It is multi-disciplinary, encouraging empirical and/or theoretical contributions from sociologists, historians, social and cultural anthropologists, other social scientists, philosophers, and researchers in legal and educational disciplines. It welcomes social, cultural, social-historical, and philosophical investigations of scientific research and technological development, and the dynamics of knowledge in a full variety of organizational and ecological settings.
Prospective authors should send their draft contributions electronically, as email attachments, to the Editor, at: socstudsci@cornell.edu. Most forms of attachment can be handled, but Word files with uncomplicated formats (no macros) are preferred. The Editor or Assistant Editor will acknowledge the submission. Email is not an infallible medium, and so a prospective author should make sure that the submission is acknowledged. Authors who are unable to submit electronically should mail five printout copies to the Editor, at: Department of Science and Technology Studies, Cornell University, 302 Rockefeller Hall, Ithaca, NY 14853, USA. Please include a cover letter with every submission. The letter should state that all authors have agreed to the submission and that the article is not currently being considered for publication by any other journal. Articles should be between 7,000 and 15,000 words long. In the exceptional case, longer articles may be considered for publication, sometimes in two or more parts. Shorter contributions may be considered for the 'Research Notes' section. Book reviews, copies of books to be reviewed, and other correspondence about book reviews should be sent to the Reviews Editor, Robert Evans, KES, School of Social Sciences, Cardiff University, Glamorgan Building, King Edward VII Avenue, Cardiff CF10 3WT, UK, email EvansRJ1@Cardiff.ac.uk.
Articles and Research Notes (including first drafts) should include an Abstract of approximately two-hundred words, and a list of key words. Final drafts should include an author's biography (approximately 50 words), plus complete contact information: institutional (or, if preferred, home) address, fax, e-mail.
All contributions submitted by mail should be typed and double-spaced. Line diagrams should be presented as camera-ready copy on glossy paper (b/w) or as EPS files (all fonts embedded) or TIFF files (with LZW compression) - b/w only, 600 dpi minimum. For scanning, photographs should preferably be submitted as clear, glossy, unmounted b/w prints with a good range of contrast or as TIFF files, 300 dpi minimum; captions should appear on a separate page. When preparing a manuscript accepted for publication, the Editors may make necessary alterations to conform to the stylistic and bibliographic conventions of the journal.
Contributors are asked to pay close attention to the following important points of detail:
English spelling should be used throughout, except in the case of words where the American 'z' has generally replaced the 's': e.g., organize. Single quotation marks should be used throughout, with double quotation marks reserved for embedded quotes.
Italic type will be used for the titles of books and journals referred to in the text and reference list, and for the least familiar foreign words. Headings should be bold and flush with the left margin, subheadings should be in italic, also flush with the left margin. The endnotes should be double-spaced and numbered consecutively. They should be referred to in the text by numerical superscripts.
All papers must include a References section, in which cited sources are listed in alphabetical order. The following sample references illustrate the journal's style:
