> high-quality academic research in the history of science, technology
> and medicine, with a focus on South Asia.
>

> - Dominik Wujastyk, University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria
> - Kim Plofker, Union College, Schenectady, United States

>
> You are warmly invited to submit research articles to the
> journal. Book publishers are invited to send copies of new
> publications for review. See below for the submission guidelines.
>
> For the journal's publishing model we have adopted the best and
> most up-to-date codes of practice:
>
> - The journal is internationally *peer-reviewed* and indexed.
> - The journal is Open Access. Articles can be *read at no charge*.
> - There will be *no article processing fee* for submissions made in
> the first two years of the journal's existence.
> - *Authors retain copyright* of their submissions.
> - Authors are required to publish their papers under a *Creative
> Commons license*, to facilitate wide dissemination.
> - Papers are published on the journal's website as soon as
> editorial tasks and typesetting are completed (rolling
> publication).
> - The journal is published *online and in print*. Print issues and
> print subscriptions to the journal are sold on demand.
>
> As you will see, the journal is free of charge both for readers and
> authors. This is made possible through the generous support of the
> publishers, the Sayahna Foundation (sayahna.org). After two years,
> any charges that may become necessary will be kept within
> reasonable bounds; several innovative business models are under
> active consideration, and it may continue to be possible to avoid
> article processing fees.

>
> We take "South Asia" as an inclusive, non-political,
> socio-geographic term referring to the area from Afghanistan to Sri
> Lanka, from Pakistan to Bangladesh, and of course India. Research on
> the influences of South Asian cultures beyond these borders is also
> welcome, for example Nepalese or Tibetan influences on China, Sri
> Lankan influences on the Maldives, or Indian influences in
> South-East Asia.
>
> We take "science" to be broadly conceived, and to include all forms
> of rigorous intellectual activity that adopt at least to some extent
> a quantitative and empirical approach, as in the German "Die
> Wissenschaft," that covers most forms of academic scholarship.
> Theoretical discussions of the meaning of the history of science
> in the South Asian historical context are welcome. They should
> presuppose some familiarity with topics such as those raised in
> sources like Grant, A History of Natural Philosophy (2007), Latour,
> Laboratory Life (1979), Staal, Concepts of Science in Europe and
> Asia (1993), Shapin, "Science and the Modern World" (2007),
> Netz, The Shaping of Deduction (2003, cf. review by
> Latour), Pollock, "The Languages of Science in Early-Modern India"
> (in Forms of Knowledge in Early Modern Asia, 2011), and similar
> reflective works that explore Global History, the interpretation of
> Modernities, and the general meaning of science in the pre-modern
> world.
>
>
> Submission guidelines
>
> Factual articles reporting discoveries, or interpretative revisions,
> are also welcome, as are editions and translations of science texts
> in the languages South Asia. Full submission guidelines are available
