The Journal of Philosophy, Science & Law is an interdisciplinary forum dedicated to examining issues in the intersection of applied philosophy, science, and the law. As science and technology advance, there will continue to be challenging philosophical and legal issues that need to be sorted out and thoroughly investigated. An analysis of these issues can have a significant and positive impact on educational programs, public policy, and professional practice.

The Journal seeks to stimulate research and publish articles in the following areas:

  • Philosophical issues associated with science policy and the growth of technology.
  • Philosophy, the legal system, and scientific evidence.
  • The influence of legal and ethical guidelines on scientific research.
  • Educational issues relating to how legal and ethical guidelines are taught within scientific fields.

Accepted articles will be available online following the Journal's peer review process.
