The Journal of Literature and Science invites submissions (complete
essays, or abstracts) for forthcoming issues.

The journal is dedicated to the publication of academic essays on the
subject of literature and science, broadly defined. Essays on the major
forms of literary and artistic endeavour are welcome (the novel, short
fiction, poetry, drama, periodical literature, visual art, sculpture,
radio, film and television). The journal encourages submissions from all
periods of literary and artistic history since the Scientific Revolution;
from the Renaissance to the present day. The journal also encourages a
broad definition of ‘science’: encapsulating both the history and
philosophy of science and those sciences regarded as either mainstream or
marginal within their own, or our, historical moment. However, the
journal does not generally publish work on the social sciences. Within
these confines, essays submitted to the journal may focus on the literary
and scientific productions of any nation or group. All essays should be
interdisciplinary in focus, offering an original view of both the
literary or artistic subject matter and the science or sciences under
consideration.

The Journal of Literature and Science (JLS) is a peer-reviewed academic
journal published twice yearly (in summer and winter). It is hosted by
the Research Centre for Literature, Arts and Science (RCLAS) at the
University of Glamorgan (South Wales, UK). Each issue appears online only
and is free to access. Each individual essay within an issue is made
available in PDF format for download.

You can access the current issue of the Journal of Literature and Science
at http://literatureandscience.research.glam.ac.uk/journal/

Submissions should be in English, and 6000â€"8000 words in length.
Contributors are encouraged to contact the Editor prior to submission,
including an abstract of the proposed essay. All manuscripts should be
submitted electronically to the Editor-in-Chief, Martin Willis, at
mwillis_at_glam.ac.uk. Manuscripts should be double spaced in 12 point Times
New Roman font. Any illustrations should be submitted separately and
their placement within the essay clearly indicated. The style of the
essay should follow the MLA guidelines.

The JLS sends out all manuscripts for peer review anonymously and all
Readers’ Reports are returned anonymously. The editors aim to return
Readers’ Reports to authors within 3 months of submission and, wherever
possible, to publish all accepted essays within 12 months of first
submission.

We look forward to receiving your submissions! If you have any queries
regarding the Journal, or its website, please address these to the
Editor, Martin Willis, at mwillis_at_glam.ac.uk, or Rachel Hewitt
(rhewitt_at_glam.ac.uk), one of its Associate Editors.
