All -


We are calling for proposals for Issue 3 (2018) of BJHS Themes, the annual open-access journal that is a companion to the British Journal for the History of Science. Like the BJHS, BJHS Themes is published by Cambridge University Press on behalf of the BSHS.

The first two volumes are 'Science of giants: India and China in the 20th Century' (issue 1, 2016, guest editors Jahnavi Phalkey and Tong Lam) and 'Animal agents' (issue 2, 2017, guest editor Amanda Rees).

We
 are looking for proposals of the highest quality for the third issue, 
with the successful proposal to be decided through competition. The 
deadline for submission of proposals is 15 July 2016. Publication will be in early 2018.



Here are the aims:



BJHS Themes
 aims to publish open access, high-quality, scholarly, engaging 
collections of history of science papers, each collection of which will 
address a provocative theme. The journal is wholly open access - free to
 read online and normally free for authors too - funded through a 
collaboration between the British Society for the History of Science and
 Cambridge University Press. Now is the right time to launch a journal 
of this kind, because there is a need for an outlet through which edited
 collections of high quality history of science can reach a broad, 
scholarly audience. As a rigorously peer-reviewed, 
professionally-published, open access journals, BJHS Themes meets this need.

Like its sister publication, the British Journal for the History of Science, BJHS Themes
 is a journal of the British Society for the History of Science (BSHS), a
 major learned society for its subject. There is one issue per year, 
consisting of more than 256 pages.
