Since 1972, Science, Technology, & Human Values has provided a forum for cutting-edge research and debate in the field of Science and Technology Studies (STS). This is a collectively edited, peer-reviewed, transnational, interdisciplinary journal containing research, analyses and commentary on the development and dynamics of science and technology, with a focus on their relationship to politics, economy, society and culture.

ST&HV publishes and seeks to foster work that is politically and ethically engaged from scholars from across the social sciences and humanities. It is committed to publishing both field-defining and field-extending work, expanding the purview of the field into new areas, and intervening in a common set of conceptual and topical conversations. The journal publishes work that contributes to STS and makes a contribution with STS, emphasising that theory, method and practice unfold in situated assemblages.

We strongly encourage submissions from scholars from a range of career stages and disciplinary backgrounds, including those located outside Global North institutions and locations.

The journal publishes a variety of formats including:

    Articles that report original empirical research or conceptual analyses that advance thinking in the field of STS and provide provocative new insights and ideas.
    Commentaries that present fresh perspectives on major public issues involving science and technology, or that respond to articles published in the journal, and are usually followed by a reply from the author.
    Review Essays that synthesise, analyze and provide context for multiple new publications on science, technology and their relations with society and culture. 

This journal is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and an official journal of the Society for the Social Studies of Science (4S).

As scientific advances improve our lives, they also complicate how we live and react to the new technologies. More and more, human values come into conflict with scientific advancement as we deal with important issues such as nuclear power, environmental degradation and information technology. Science, Technology, & Human Values is a peer-reviewed, international, interdisciplinary journal containing research, analyses and commentary on the development and dynamics of science and technology, including their relationship to politics, society and culture. The journal provides you with work from scholars in a diverse range of disciplines across the social sciences. Among the disciplines you will find in Science, Technology, & Human Values are: political science, sociology, environmental studies, anthropology, literature, history, economics, and philosophy.
