Journal Descriptions

Since 1950, The British Journal for the Philosophy of Science (BJPS) has presented the best new work in the discipline. An international leader in the philosophy of science, BJPS showcases outstanding research on a variety of topics, from the nature of models and simulations to mathematical explanation and foundational issues in the physical, life, and social sciences. Published on behalf of the British Society for the Philosophy of Science, the journal offers innovative and thought-provoking papers that open up new areas of inquiry or shed new light on well-known issues. The British Journal for the Philosophy of Science is published for the Society by University of Chicago Press. Founded in 1950, it is one of the leading international journals in the philosophy of science. It has a current Impact Factor of 3.978 (and a 5-year impact factor of 3.433), making the highest cited journal in the field. More editorial statistics can be found here. Each issue features an Editors’ Choice article, available to download for free, and every year the BSPS Committee, in consultation with the Editors, choose a paper for the prestigious BJPS Popper Prize, which is also made available to download for free. In addition, the journal publishes themed collections on topics of particular interest, such as the work of T. S. Kuhn or the philosophy of cognitive science. The journal has two sister sites: the BJPS Review of Books, which publishes reviews of recent philosophy of science books, and BJPS Short Reads, which features short essays based on BJPS articles. It also has a blog, Auxiliary Hypotheses, which features new work in the field, publishing advice, and news about the journal.
