OSIRIS
Founded in 1936 by George Sarton as a companion to the journal Isis, this annual thematic publication deals with important emerging research in the history of science and its cultural influences. Selected volumes of Osiris cover such topics as Historical Writing on American Science, Science in Germany, Science after '40, Research Schools, Instruments, and Constructing Knowledge in the History of Science. |

Instructions to Authors
Osiris is devoted to thematic issues, often conceived and compiled by guest editors.
1. Manuscripts should be typewritten or processed on a letter-quality printer and double-spaced throughout, including quotations and notes, on paper of standard size or weight. Margins should be wider than usual to allow space for instructions to the typesetter. The right-hand margin should be left ragged (not justified) to maintain even spacing and readability.
2. Bibliographic information should be given in footnotes (not parenthetically in the text), typed separately from the main body of the manuscript, double- or even triple-spaced, numbered consecutively throughout the article, and keyed to reference numbers typed above the line in the text.
a. References to books should include author's full name; complete title of the book, underlined (italics); place of publication and publisher's name for books published after 1900; date of publication, including the original date when a reprint is being cited; page numbers cited. Example:
1Joseph Needham, Science and Civilisation in China, 5 vols., Vol. I: Introductory Orientations (Cambridge: Cambridge Univ. Press, 1954), p. 7.
b. References to articles in periodicals should include author's name; title of article, in quotes; title of periodical, underlined; year; volume number, Arabic and underlined; number of issue if pagination requires it; page numbers of article; number of particular page cited. Journal titles are spelled out in full on first citation and abbreviated subsequently. Example:
2John C. Greene, "Reflections on the Progress of Darwin Studies," Journal of the History of Biology, 1975, 8:243-272, on p. 270; and Dov Ospovat, "God and Natural Selection: The Darwinian Idea of Design," J. Hist. Biol., 1980, 13:169-174, on p. 171.
c. When first citing a reference, please give the title in full. For succeeding citations, please use an abbreviated version of the title with the author's last name. Example:
3Greene, "Reflections" (cit. n. 2), p. 250.
3. Please mark clearly for the typesetter all unusual alphabets, special characters, mathematics, and chemical formulae, and include all diacritical marks.
4. A small number of figures may be used to illustrate an article. Line drawings should be directly reproducible; glossy prints should be furnished for all halftone illustrations.
5. Manuscripts should be submitted to Osiris with the understanding that upon publication copyright will be transferred to the History of Science Society. That understanding precludes Osiris from considering material that has been submitted or accepted for publication elsewhere.
