1. General Policy. History and Philosophy of the Life Sciences (HPLS) publishes original papers, notes and comments, essay reviews, and book reviews on the history and philosophy of the life sciences. The main concern of the journal is contemporary biological thought, but with no precise or absolute chronological limit. The scientific nature of the subject ranges throughout the life sciences; the historical, philosophical, and cultural settings are also considered in broad terms. Papers are published with the understanding that they have not been published before and are not concurrently under consideration by other journal. Generally, authors may expect to receive a decision on their submission within three months of receipt.
2. Languages. The languages of the journal are English, French, German, and Italian, however, other languages can be considered. Book reviews are published only in English.
3. Manuscripts.
- The manuscripts should average around 7.500 words, or between 20-30 double-spaced pages, including references. Authors should submit manuscripts to Keith R. Benson, Editor-in-chief, UBC, Department of History, Vancouver, BC, Canada V6T 1Z1. Electronic version of the manuscript may be submitted to krbenson@interchange.ubc.ca.
- When a paper has been accepted for publication, authors will receive a set of galley proofs. Substantial changes in a paper at the proof stage will be charged to the author.
4. Style. Foreign words have to be given in italics.
- Extended quotations should be inset and without quotation marks. Shorter quotations should be enclosed within double quotation marks. Single quotations marks should be used only for a quotation within a quotation.
- Use translations within the body of the text and put the original text in a footnote if necessary.
- The text should be typed double-spaced, unjustified, and without hyphenation (except for compound words).
- Enter only one space at the end of a sentence and after commas, semi-colons, and colons.
- No space should be inserted before punctuation marks.
- Do not use lower case 'l' (ell) for 1 (one) or 'o' for 0 (zero).
5.

6. Abstract. An abstract in English of not more than 200 words should be typed on the second page. For articles not published in English, the English abstract should not be less than 300 words.
7. Footnotes. In the body of the text, footnotes should be numbered consecutively, with superscript numerals placed outside the punctuation, thus: ... Darwin agreed.42 Footnotes should contain only additional comments to the text, as references must be put in the body of the text, cited within brackets indicating the name of the author, the date of publication and the specific page number if necessary (Muller 1951, 80). References to the same year should be designated with a letter: 1991a, 1991b, etc. The same format should be used for references within footnotes.
8. References. Should be put in a separate list in alphabetical order at the end of the paper and must conform to the following examples. In particular, note: capitalisation; use of single quotation marks for titles; initials only for first names (no space between two initials); full title of journals; complete page numbers. Always use the original language of publication for the text of the reference, e.g. (ed.), (eds), (sous la direction de), (a cura di), (mit einem Beitrag von).
