About

Centaurus. Journal of the European Society for the History of Science, is an international English language journal and the official journal of the European Society for the History of Science (ESHS). Centaurus publishes high quality academic content on the history of science in the broadest sense, including the history of mathematics, medicine, biomedical sciences, earth sciences, social sciences, humanities and technology, studied from different perspectives, including epistemic, social, cultural, material and technical aspects. We also invite contributions that build a bridge between history of science and other disciplines. There are several types of manuscripts, including original research articles and historiographical articles. The editorial board commissions experts to write book notices, book reviews and essay reviews of publications within the journal's scope. The Editor encourages suggestions for special issues, spotlight sections with short papers on topics of current interest, and articles suited to open peer commentary.
