Science & Society Editorial Files

The Science & Society editorial staff's records are mainly comprised of author files, consisting of correspondence with authors regarding the work they submitted to the journal and often their manuscripts. The correspondence in these files reveals the rationale for the editorial staff's decisions to either accept or reject the manuscripts for publication. The collection also contains administrative correspondence between the editorial staff and a multitude of outside parties related to the management, policies, and day-to-day operations of the journal. To a much lesser extent, the collection includes the minutes and correspondence of the editorial board.
