The journal for the History of Science is open access and a peer-reviewed journal publishing high-quality, original research. Please see the journal's Aims & Scope for information about its focus and peer-review policy.
This journal publishes manuscripts in English and Persian.
This journal provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge.
The journal for the History of Science is committed to peer-review integrity and upholding the highest standards of review. Once your paper has been assessed for suitability by the editor, it will then be double blind peer reviewed by independent, anonymous expert referees.
A screening check for general content will be carried out on every manuscript upon submission. The corresponding author may be contacted to send the revised version. Manuscripts will be peer-reviewed by a minimum of two reviewers (double blind). The manuscript will be evaluated based on its appropriateness for the journal for the History of Science, contribution to the discipline, cogency of analysis, conceptual breadth, clarity of presentation, and technical adequacy. To ensure that manuscripts are evaluated solely on their merit, the author(s)’ identity is concealed from reviewers during the review process. Manuscripts submitted by the editorial board members will also go through the same procedure.
