History and Technology

期刊简介：History and Technology is a world-leading international forum for research on technology in history. Technology – as knowledge, practice, and material resource – has been a key site for constituting the human experience. It has been central to the making and transformation of societies and cultures, on a local and transnational scale, in the pre-modern and modern eras. The journal publishes historical contributions on any aspect of technology in any period in history but encourages research that critically analyses the concept of technology while emphasizing its importance for a better understanding of history. The journal is also engaged in a reflexive encounter with the ways in which history of technology is written, regarding choices of theory, scale, register, and whose voices may count as authoritative. History and Technology seeks to stimulate dialogue between history of technology and allied fields in history and the humanities, with the aim of exploring common issues in explanation, interpretation, and methodology. Truly international in scope, the journal places a high value on high-quality contributions from scholars who would not normally publish in the English language. In addition to individual research articles, History and Technology features four types of analytic reflections. These are: • Special Issue : the journal intermittently publishes issues with three or more articles by different authors organized by a guest editor. Special issues expose groundbreaking opportunities in historiography. Special Issues should be discussed with the Editors for approval. • Forum : these contributions bring together several scholars, from different disciplinary vantage points, to assess an individual work of scholarship. The goal of a forum is to have a critical exchange, bringing together the author and diverse respondents to constructively examine common concerns in explanation or intellectual framing within history of technology and other scholarly fields. • Historiographic, Field, or Thematic Essay : Reviews or intellectual histories of literatures, disciplines, fields, themes, or guiding constructs in scholarship. These offer critical reflection on a broad sweep of intellectual activity and engage common concerns in explanation within history of technology and other scholarly fields. Contributions are encouraged from scholars in all disciplines. • Images, Technology, and History : Focuses on images as historical evidence. These papers analyze images relating to technology, with two aims: To integrate more fully our understanding of technology into broader historical accounts and to reflect on historical method. (Please consult the editors for guidance on length and format for each of these special features). Peer Review Policy All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor-in-Chief, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to rigorous and rapid peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is double anonymized. The journal uses Editorial Manager to manage the peer-review process while submissions can be made online on Submission Portal .

【译文】历史与技术是世界领先的历史技术研究国际论坛。技术——作为知识、实践和物质资源——一直是构成人类经验的关键场所。在前现代和现代时代，它对于地方和跨国范围内的社会和文化的形成和变革至关重要。该杂志发表历史上任何时期技术任何方面的历史贡献，但鼓励对技术概念进行批判性分析的研究，同时强调其对于更好地理解历史的重要性。该杂志还对技术史的书写方式进行了反思，涉及理论、规模、语域的选择，以及谁的声音可以算作权威。历史与技术旨在促进技术史与历史和人文学科相关领域之间的对话，旨在探索解释、解释和方法论方面的共同问题。该期刊具有真正的国际性，高度重视通常不会以英语发表文章的学者的高质量贡献。除了个人研究文章外，《历史与技术》还具有四种类型的分析反思。它们是： • 特刊：期刊间歇性地出版由客座编辑组织的由不同作者撰写的三篇或三篇以上文章的期刊。特刊揭示了史学领域的突破性机遇。特殊问题应与编辑讨论以获得批准。 • 论坛：这些贡献汇集了来自不同学科优势的几位学者，以评估个人的学术工作。论坛的目标是进行批判性交流，将作者和不同的受访者聚集在一起，建设性地审查技术史和其他学术领域中解释或知识框架中的共同关注点。 • 史学、田野或主题论文：对文学、学科、领域、主题或学术指导结构的评论或思想史。这些提供了对广泛的智力活动的批判性反思，并在技术史和其他学术领域的解释中引起了普遍关注。鼓励所有学科的学者做出贡献。 • 图像、技术和历史：重点关注作为历史证据的图像。这些论文分析与技术相关的图像，有两个目的：将我们对技术的理解更全面地融入到更广泛的历史记录中，并反思历史方法。 （请咨询编辑以获取有关每个特殊功能的长度和格式的指导）。同行评审政策 所有提交的稿件均需经过主编的初步评审，如果认为适合进一步考虑，则由独立、匿名的专家审稿人进行严格、快速的同行评审。所有同行评审均采用双重匿名方式。该期刊使用编辑管理器来管理同行评审流程，同时可以在提交门户上在线提交。
