SCOPE:

The main scope of EJHPS is to strengthen and elaborate the relationship between history and philosophy of science. As such, EJHPS aims to attract the best research in these two areas from across the spectrum of the different disciplines of science, including the history of scientific discovery and innovation as well as the different aspects of scientific methodologies as well as scientific and critical thinking. The EJHPS pays special attention to studies that aim at advancing our understanding of how to learn from the history and the philosophy of science in advancing contemporary scientific research.

AIMS:

• Publish interdisciplinary scientific research in the history and philosophy of science.
• Provide the opportunity for peer-reviewed scientific publication to fill the gap in this area of research in Egypt and the Arab world through publishing new scientific knowledge in various educational, scientific, literary and legal disciplines and linking it to the history and philosophy of science.
• Create a database for those interested in the history and philosophy of science from different disciplines.
• Holding an annual conference on the history and philosophy of science and scientific research, providing a platform to exchange experiences between junior and senior researchers.
• Organize workshops and seminars to present the role played by philosophers and scientists from the time of ancient civilizations to contemporary science.
• Encourage children to express themselves, their ideas, and their philosophy to raise a new generation of critical thinkers.

List of Journal Topics:

EJHPS pays special attention to studies concerned with the history and philosophy of science that enhance the connection between them through the following topics:

• The history of scientific discovery and innovation.
• The different methodologies of scientific research.
• Scientific and critical thinking.
• The resume of scientists and their role in developing scientific research.
• The role of the philosophy of science in improving scientific culture in society, especially among young people.
• The role of documentaries in the history and philosophy of science.
• The role of the history and philosophy of science in the interaction between civilizations throughout the ages.
• Comparative studies on the philosophy of science.

Corrections and Retractions: 

EJHPS shall publish corrections, clarifications, retractions, and apologies by authors when needed. EJHPS shall not encourage misconduct, or knowingly allow such misconduct to take place. If EJHPS is made aware of allegations of research misconduct, including plagiarism, falsification, fabrication, and recklessness, the editor shall deal with each case of allegations immediately and appropriately.

If EJHPS is informed of any form of misconduct after the article is published (publications that contain such seriously flawed or erroneous data that their findings and conclusions cannot be relied upon), the editor will immediately contact the corresponding author. The editorial board will investigate the case to confirm the misconduct. If the misconduct is confirmed, the article will be immediately retracted with a notification stating the reasons posted on the EJHPS website. The author will be banned from submitting to EJHPS in the future. In addition, the editor will notify the author’s institution of the incident. The journal will follow the retraction guidelines by the Committee on Publications Ethics (COPE); publicationethics.org.

Multiple submissions:

The EJHPS shall have consent from the corresponding author(s) stating no multiple submissions. However, if EJHPS is informed of multiple submissions of the same manuscript at the time of its submission to EJHPS, the editor will immediately contact the corresponding author, and the manuscript shall be rejected and withdrawn. If the editor is informed of multiple submissions after the manuscript has already been published by EJHPS, the published manuscript at EJHPS shall be immediately retracted.

Redundant publications

Redundancy means publishing more than one manuscript based on the same set of data. Combining results into one robust paper is more likely to be of interest to a selective journal. The EJHPS Editor shall have consent from the corresponding author(s) stating no redundant publications. However, the EJHPS Editor shall reject a weak paper that they suspect to be the result of redundancy.

Improper author contribution or attribution:

All listed authors must have made significant contributions to the work in the submitted manuscript and approved all its claims. Do not “gift” authorship to those who did not contribute to the paper. The International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (https://www.icmje.org) has detailed guidelines on authorship that are useful for scientists in all fields. EJHPS shall include the authorship contribution in the manuscript upon its acceptance for publication.
