Science Studies is an international peer-reviewed journal dedicated to publishing articles on the study of science and technology studies. Published since 1988, Science Studies is read in over 80 countries around the world and is also available electronically through EBSCOhost services in over 700 institutions.

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.
