a List of STS Journals
By Jon Agar, on 24 February 2015
Here’s a list of journals within the broad STS field, including history of science, philosophy of science, sociology of science, history of mathematics, history of medicine, history of technology, science policy. It’s useful to have all the links in one place. Good for a browse to catch up on what’s new!
It’s updated from a “journal article listing” that I used to regularly do for the mersenne jiscmail list. If there are any missing journals, then let me know and I’ll add them.

It would be great if you could consider adding the journal Valuation Studies to the list. It is a transdisciplinary journal on the topic of valuation as a social practice but a fair amount of content and scholars involved would not object the rubric of STS.
