IF and only IF

Another year, another impact factor. Thomson Reuters, who compile the figures, have released their 2017 report and the BJPS continues to perform very well (a brief explanation of the IF can be found here). We’ve jumped from last year’s 1.738 to a not-to-be-sniffed-at 1.985. Many thanks indeed to our authors and our referees for all their hard work!

To celebrate, we’ve made a number of our most highly cited papers freely available:

Graded Causation and Defaults
Joseph Y. Halpern and Christopher Hitchcock

Hamilton’s Rule and Its Discontents
Jonathan Birch

Are There Non-Causal Explanations (of Particular Events)?
Bradford Skow

The No Alternatives Argument
Richard Dawid, Stephan Hartmann, and Jan Sprenger​​​​​​​

Abstract Explanations in Science
Christopher Pincock

The table below gives the IF rankings for the most prominent philosophy of science journals.
