About Our Mission The Philosophy of Physics Society’s mission is to advance education and research for the public benefit in the field of philosophy of physics by maintaining the academic, open-access journal Philosophy of Physics. We pursue this goal in three main ways: 1. Publishing the open-access journal Philosophy of Physics Our academic journal is our most visible responsibility. It aims to provide the flagship publication outlet for the philosophy of physics discipline, broadly construed. What is open access? In short, it means that all our publications are free for all to download, although they are still protected by a Creative Commons licence. This leads to greater visibility, and greater accessibility to a broader community of readers than traditional publishing means. 2. Supporting the international philosophy of physics community We are a fully international society, aiming to serve the community of researchers and students on all inhabited continents. Although we are a registered charity in the United Kingdom for the purposes of managing membership fees, the community we serve is the entire world. As part of maintaining our journal, our activities include facilitating research collaborations and events where possible. 3. Encouraging diversity and representation in the field We aim to serve the philosophy of physics community in a way that encourages its healthy growth. To us, this means encouraging diversity and better representation for under-represented groups in the field. |
