Archive Policy
Submissions
PhilSci-Archive is offered by its sponsors as a free service to philosophers of science. Its goal is to preserve
and foster the rapid exchange of new work in philosophy of science
Preprints posted on the archive are restricted to those in philosophy of science or related material of
interest to professional philosophers of science. The range of admissible topics and the style of analysis is
set by the topics and styles of material publishable in the Philosophy of Science Association journal,
Philosophy of Science.
The archive posts complete, self-contained papers that have achieved a stable form. It strongly discourages
repeated postings to correct errors in papers posted in haste. The archive does not post short notes, letters
and other material that do not fit the model of a scholarly paper. The archive does not support threaded
discussions.
The archive also posts separate "publication" records, whose use is restricted to informing archive users of
the published article derived from a preprint already posted on the archive. These records include a link to
the journal publication deriving from a preprint on the archive and do not require the uploading of a
document.
Since the content of the archive is moderated, we regret that we can only accept papers written in English.
This applies to general submissions only conference organizers may formulate their own language policies
for conference sections. (rule revised May 15, 2009)
Up to two business days should be allowed between the time a paper is deposited to the archive and the
time it becomes accessible to other users of the archive.
Rejections
The archive reserves the right to refuse to post papers it deems to lie outside these boundaries. Because of
the volume of material posted, the archive cannot enter into correspondence concerning submissions that
have been refused.

No representation is made by the archive on the accuracy or quality of preprints posted. The views and
opinions expressed are those of the authors and not the archive sponsors. With respect to the documents
available from this server, the archive sponsors make no warranty, expressed or implied, including

The archive takes the act of posting a paper as a representation by the person posting that the paper does
not contain libelous or defamatory material, that the person posting the paper owns the copyright to it and
grants users of the archive permission to make a copy of the paper for their private use.
Removals
