Social Epistemology: A Journal of Knowledge, Culture and Policy is a ranked, bimonthly peer-reviewed academic journal. It was established in 1987 and is published by Taylor & Francis in collaboration with the Society for Social Studies of Science and the European Association for the Study of Science and Technology. [1] It provides a forum for philosophical and social scientific enquiry that incorporates the work of scholars from a variety of disciplines who share a concern with the production, assessment and validation of knowledge.
Contents
The journal covers both empirical research into the origination and transmission of knowledge and normative considerations which arise as such research is implemented, serving as a guide for directing contemporary knowledge enterprises. It operates in tandem with the Social Epistemology Review and Reply Collective, an open-access forum for intellectual inquiry which publishes critical replies to journal articles, book reviews, and article reviews, and hosts debates exploring knowledge as a social phenomenon.
