The Journal of Literature and Science (http://www.literatureandscience.org) is now looking for reviewers to review a wide range of articles in the field literature and science published in the last year to 18 months. 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. As such, we believe our reviews offer scholars and students a truly valuable guide to some of the most recent and cutting edge research in the field.
Please find below are a number of articles that we would like to offer members the chance to review for the Journal’s autumn issue in 2014. Its largely first come, first served, so do get in touch with an offer to do a specific article (email m.geric@westminster.ac.uk). I’d also be very happy for BSLS 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,
