JOURNAL PUBLICATION - Since its inception in 1934, "Philosophy of Science," a professional journal, has been dedicated to the furthering of studies and free discussion from diverse standpoints in the philosophy of science. The Journal is published five time each year, once for each quarter with a December issue containing the PSA Conference proceedings. The Journal aims to publish the best original work in philosophy of science, broadly construed. This work will advance the discussion in some area of philosophy of science or the philosophy of a particular science in a way that is of direct interest to experts in the field, and in a way that explicitly acknowledges and responds to existing work in the area. Prior to selection and publishing, all submissions are peer reviewed with the author anonymous.
