CALL FOR REVIEWERS:
As some of you will already know, the Journal of Literature and Science has now moved to the University of Westminster http://www.literatureandscience.org. With that move, Martin Willis, our Editor-in-Chief, has kindly asked me to take over as reviews editor. The Journal reviews section does not review books, but, quite uniquely, focuses attention instead on journal articles published in the field in the last year to 18 months. Below are a number of articles that we would like to offer members the chance to review for the Journal’s forthcoming issues in 2013. Its largely first come, first served, so do get in touch with me m.geric@westminster.ac.uk with an offer to do specific articles. I’d also be very happy for members to suggest other relevant articles for review that they may have come across and that aren’t listed below. Do let me know.
Many thanks and look forward to hearing from you,
Michelle Geric
ARTICLES FOR REVIEW:
The following articles are available for review for inclusion in forthcoming issues of the Journal of Literature and Science. The JLS is unique in reviewing journal articles rather than books in the fields of literature and science and the history and philosophy of science. Reviews should be 750 words long and should offer both a description of the article as well as an analysis of its achievements. For more details please follow the link http://www.literatureandscience.org or contact Michelle Geric m.geric@westminster.ac.uk to register your interest. If you would like to review a relevant article that does not appear in the list below, please also contact Michelle. The JLS would be perfectly happy to consider alternatives to those listed here.
