SCIAMVS Sources and Commentaries in Exact Sciences

"In principle the area to be covered by the journal is the history of exact sciences before A.D. 1600, although the limitation of time need not apply to Asian (including Arabic) science.The main purpose of the journal is to make available original sources in the field. It has been a common practice that source materials in their original languages are not accepted in the current academic journals. Our priority lies in providing such materials, especially critical editions of unpublished texts as well as their translation into modern languages (preferably English) together with comments and notes.We also accept studies based on original sources, published or unpublished, and their translations. Reviews of books containing original source materials are also welcome.The papers submitted to the editorial board are judged by two referees. The referees are kept anonymous for 10 years after the final decision. Thereafter the names and the process of judgement can be publicized upon request. "
