HoST – Journal of History of Science and Technology welcomes proposals for thematic issues.
HoST is an open access, on-line peer-reviewed international journal devoted to the History of Science and Technology, published in English by a group of Portuguese research institutions and De Gruyter/Sciendo.
The journals encourages submissions of original historical research exploring the cultural, social and political dimensions of science, technology, and medicine (STM), both from a local and a global perspective.
Past thematic issues have dealt with topics as diverse as pesticides, circulation of knowledge, communication of science, the relation between science and politics, . Future issues might deal with both established and emerging areas of scholarship.
The editors of HoST are looking for proposals for two thematic issues to be published in 2021 (HoST volume 15, issues 1 and 2). Each thematic issue should be prepared by a guest editor and include four research papers.
Proposals should include the following items:
- An abstract describing the topic for the thematic issue and its significance (500 words);
- A list of the contributors along with the titles and abstracts (300 words) of the four research papers;
- Brief CVs (300 words) of the guest editor(s) and authors.
