Call for Papers
Philosophy of Science Association
Twentieth Biennial Meeting: November 2-5, 2006
Vancouver, British Columbia
Members of the Philosophy of Science Association (PSA) are invited to submit papers to be presented at the PSA 2006 meeting in Vancouver, British Columbia on November 2-5. Contributed papers may be on any topic in the philosophy of science. The PSA 2006 Program Committee will strive for quality, variety, innovation and diversity on the program. We encourage papers in both traditional and novel areas of philosophy of science.
The deadline for paper submissions is March 15, 2006. Some papers will be accepted for both presentation at the PSA 2006 meeting and publication in a supplementary issue of Philosophy of Science; other papers will be accepted just for presentation. Both types of accepted paper will be electronically published prior to the meeting. In each case, the Program Committee expects to make its decision by mid-June, 2006. Final versions of all papers accepted for publication must be submitted by January 15, 2007.
The maximum manuscript length is 5,000 words, including footnotes and references. If the text includes tables or figures, an appropriate number of words should be subtracted from the limit. Submissions must include a 100-word abstract and a word count. Format and citation style should match those of the journal Philosophy of Science (see http://journal.philsci.org/Guidelines/ for details). Submissions should be prepared for blind review, with no identifying information in the body of the paper or abstract. (See http://philsci.org/conferences/psa2006/blinding.html [broken] for guidelines about blinding papers.)
Authors of accepted papers are expected to present abbreviated versions of their papers, with a time limit of twenty minutes.
Submissions must be electronically submitted at http://philsci.org/PSA06/submit [Note: This link is dead. The deadline for submissions has past.]
