Call for papers – Current health crisis from the perspective of science studies
Teorie vědy / Theory of Science invites the authors to reflect on the current health crisis from the perspective of science studies broadly conceived (philosophy of science, STS, history of science, anthropology of science, etc.). In a series of short essays (up to 3000 words) we would like to offer not only regular readers of our journal, but also a wider public insight into the current situation informed by the approaches that science studies have developed and by the knowledge it has reached. In addition to opening the question of what science studies have to say about the current situation, we also call for a discussion on the possible impact the current crisis may have on the field of science studies.
The manuscripts will be processed by the Teorie vědy / Theory of Science editorial team, that will also decide on their acceptance and publication on the journal’s website. The journal Teorie vědy / Theory of Science wan’t claim exclusivity and will actively promote the valorisation of these texts in other wide-ranging media.
Due to the non-standard format of expected papers, but also with regard to the way of their processing (manuscripts will not be subjected to standard peer review), accepted texts will be published on the journal’s website only with the stats of "non-reviewed online articles". Any subsequent use of these papers for the journal Teorie vědy / Theory of Science (in its electronic and printed form) will be negotiated individually with the authors.
We ask authors not to use the editorial system of Teorie vědy / Theory of Science to submit their manuscripts. Submissions should be made directly to the editor of the series, Jan Maršálek (marsalek@flu.cas.cz).
