Centaurus publishes an international spectrum of original research papers, historiographical articles, and other academic content on the history of science in the broadest sense, including mathematics, medicine, biomedical sciences, earth sciences, social sciences, humanities and technology, and their social and cultural aspects. We also invite contributions that build a bridge between history of science and other disciplines. Book notices, book reviews and essay reviews of publications within the journal's scope are commissioned to experts. The Editor encourages suggestions for special issues, short papers on topics of current interest and articles suited to open peer commentary along with a list of potential commentators.
