CALL FOR PAPERS
_Studies in History and Philosophy of Biological and Biomedical
Sciences_
is a new journal whose first issue will be published at the beginning
of
1998.  The journal will be devoted to historical, sociological,
philosophical and ethical aspects of the life and environmental
sciences,
of the sciences of mind and behaviour, and of the medical and
biomedical
sciences and technologies.
The editorial policy will be in line with the policy of the parent
journal, _Studies in History and Philosophy of Science_: contributions
will be drawn from a wide range of countries and cultural traditions;
we
shall encourage both specialist articles, and articles combining
historical, philosophical, and sociological approaches; and we shall
favour works of interest to scientists and medics as well as to
specialists in the history, philosophy and sociology of the sciences. 
The
table of contents of _Studies in History and Philosophy of Science_ is
available at the Elsevier Science Ltd website at the following address:

The editors are seeking original English language articles in the field
of
the new journal.  For these the word limit is c. 10,000.  They would
also

Prospective authors should submit copies of papers in duplicate, typed
and
double-spaced (including quotations and footnotes) on quarto or A4
paper.
They should retain a copy for the purpose of checking proofs.

paper
is accepted, to supply good quality copies of any illustration and any
necessary permissions for reproduction of copyright material.  All
articles and volunteered essay-reviews will be blind refereed.
