Philosophy of science is a field that examines the foundations, methods, and implications of science. It explores questions about scientific practices, the nature of scientific knowledge and theories, the role of scientific explanation, and the connections between science and philosophy. General philosophy of science focuses on these notions and broader connections while the sub-discipline also makes room for more specialised investigations into the individual scientific domains. This includes the philosophy of physics, the philosophy of chemistry, the philosophy of biology, and the philosophy of medicine
This post lists the academic peer-reviewed journals that publish in Philosophy of Science. All of these can be viewed in the PJIP Directory alongside information about their word limits, open-access status, peer-review anonymity, if they publish book reviews, if they publish discussions, rankings including SJR, SNIP, and CiteScore, and for some, operational stats such as acceptance rates, number of submissions, and response times.
Best Philosophy of Science Journals
Numerous metrics can be used to determine what the top Philosophy of Science journals are. This includes SJR, SNIP, CiteScore, Citation percentage, H-indexes, and Google Scholar rankings. All of these are readily accessible in the PJIP Ranking Index; users can easily compare these metrics to evaluate how each Philosophy of Science journal performs across various criteria.
Open Access Philosophy of Science JournalsA key distinction between academic journals is their open access status. The PJIP directory classifies ‘Diamond Open Access’ journals that charge no fees to authors or readers, ‘Part Open Access’ journals that require authors to pay a fee for open access publication, ‘Hybrid’ journals that offer authors the option to publish open access by paying fees (but will otherwise publish articles non-open access), and ‘Traditional’ journals that charge readers for access to their articles. The PJIP directory can be filtered to show Philosophy of Science journals in each of these categories. To assess the best open access Philosophy of Science journals, the PJIP Ranking Index can also be filtered by the journal’s open access status.
