Science Studies is designed as an open forum for all perceptive contributions to the study of science and technology, whether philosophical, historical, sociological, psychological, educational or politico-economic. It stands for no doctrine or formal discipline, except for theoretical analysis as a guide to better practice, and empirical observation as a stimulus to conceptual insight.
