For over fifty years The British Journal for the Philosophy of Science has published the best international work in the philosophy of science under a distinguished list of editors including A. C. Crombie, Mary Hesse, Imre Lakatos, D. H. Mellor and David Papineau.One of the leading international journals in the field, it publishes outstanding new work on a variety of traditional and 'cutting edge' issues, such as the metaphysics of science and the applicability of mathematics to physics, as well as foundational issues in the physical sciences, the life sciences and the social sciences. Recent topics covered in the journal include: the nature of theoretical knowledge, probabilistic analyses of causation, the stability of cultural traits, gene-based accounts of the 'tree of life', and non-linguistic representations in organic chemistry. The journal seeks to advance the field by publishing innovative and thought-provoking papers, discussion notes and book reviews that open up new directions or shed new light on well-known issues.The British Journal for the Philosophy of Science receives over 250 submissions a year. The editors seek advice from the members of the editorial panel and a large number of expert referees.The new editors have instituted the policy of deciding on all submissions within six weeks of receipt. This is partly because we want to encourage authors to send us articles, but also because we think it is unnecessary, and therefore wrong, for authors to be kept waiting longer.The editorial team also ensures comprehensive coverage of books on philosophy of science and related subjects and publishes longer review articles on books of major significance in the field.The British Journal for the Philosophy of Science is published for The British Society for the Philosophy of Science by Oxford University Press. The Society holds monthly meetings during the academic year, at which papers are read and discussed. The venue for meetings is the Centre for the Philosophy of the Natural and Social Sciences, Tymes Court Building, London School of Economics. These meetings are open to Society members and the general public. The Society also holds a three-day annual conference each September, and occasional one-day conferences at different venues.Membership to the Society is open to anybody on payment of the annual subscription.

Recent advances in wireless technology have led to mobile computing, a new dimension in data communication and processing. Many predict a new emerging, gigantic market with millions of mobile users carrying small, battery-powered terminals equipped with wireless connection, and as a result, the way people use information resources is predicted to be radically transformed.Mobile Information Systems (MIS) presents visionary concepts and stimulating ideas in mobile information systems at both the theory and application levels. The objectives of the journal are to be a source for mobile information systems research and development, and to serve as an outlet for facilitating communication and networking among mobile information systems researchers, practitioners, and professionals across academics, government, industry and students. The journal is published multiple times a year, with the purpose of providing a forum for state-of-the-art development and research, as well as current innovative activities in mobile information systems. The main goal will be to provide timely dissemination of information.
