Beijing Region Graduate Student Forum on the History and Philosophy of Science Continues to Solicit Submissions~~

The earlier published Call for Papers for the 2nd Beijing Graduate Student Academic Forum on History of Science, Technology, and Philosophy has already been revised in some respects. The revised portions are as follows:

The forum will be held all day on Saturday, November 19, 2011, at the Sunshine Hall of Peking University’s Yingjie Exchange Center. In view of the fact that the chief aim of our forum is to strengthen mutual understanding among students from different specialties and directions within the field of history of science, technology, and philosophy, the conference will not have parallel sessions, but themes will be set at different time slots.

This forum will award prizes to papers, with material rewards for excellent papers and recommendations for publication. If conditions permit, the conference papers may also be collected and published as a volume.

We will provide lunch and dinner for all participants. The forum has also specifically arranged a social and networking session for the evening of that day, and we hope that all friends attending the forum will be able to deepen their friendships while engaging in academic exchange. To facilitate organization, students who wish to attend the banquet and activities are asked to register in advance through the BBS or via the contact person at each university as far as possible.

For relevant information and the latest updates about the forum, please pay attention to the messages section of the forum BBS: http://keshizhe.net 。

To submit a paper, please send the electronic version of the paper to the contact person at your institution, or post it directly in the submission section on the forum BBS here (you may omit your real name or the content from public view; see the submission instructions). Submissions will be reviewed by referees recommended by the various universities (after discussion and anonymous voting).

Any questions or suggestions are welcome—please contact Hu Yilin, the general contact person for this forum (HYL510@gmail.com, QQ：160467）or speak up on the BBS.

 

The previously registered keshizhe.com domain was registered overseas, so filing the required registration was rather troublesome. The newly registered keshizhe.net is in the process of applying for filing (we’ve run into some trouble), but as a makeshift measure I set up a redirect using the free space provided by Huizhuwu, so let’s just use it for promotion.

As for the submission method, I’ve also made some supplementary explanation:

Although we originally already allowed submissions to be posted without public display, given that many students remain quite concerned about public posting, let me emphasize once again the method for hidden submissions.

As shown in the image: below the post editor, under “Common settings,” you can set the post to be an “anonymous post,” so that no one other than you can see the poster’s name (neither the real-name information nor the nickname can be seen).

Under “paid content settings,” select “encryption” and set it to 1 point of reviewing rights, and then only authorized reviewers will be able to read it. If you set it to bronze coins or prestige, then public-network users will be restricted from reading it, but registered users on this site will still be able to read it.

By default, encrypted posts will encrypt the entire post. If you only want to encrypt part of the content, while allowing other content to be made public (for example, the abstract and keywords), then you can manually adjust the position of the “hide” tag in the editor. The content between the hide tags will be hidden content. As follows:

Information willing to be made public, such as the title and abstract
[hide=1,2]
The article content to be encrypted and hidden
[/hide]
