Aims and Scopes Technophany, published by Radboud University Press, is a Diamond Open Access journal of the Research Network for Philosophy and Technology, it is dedicated to the philosophical and historical studies of technologies and the technosciences. It was founded in view of the need to create a singular and unconventional space for transdisciplinary reflections on philosophy, technology, and science, which is diminishing today due to dogmatic and siloed academic practices and their reluctance to confront challenges imposed by the industrial world. Technophany aims to facilitate original reflections and provocations on the philosophy and history of technology and contribute to the reshaping of the contemporary landscape of thought. Our scope is wide, and we invite authors to submit articles from all traditions in philosophy as well as from other more sociological or historical disciplines, seeking to engage critically with technology. Our editorial board are recognized experts in the field of philosophy and philosophy of technology, ensuring that the journal maintains its quality in publishing. Technophany publishes one on-going online first General Issue per year and one to two Special Issues per year. As an Diamond Open Access journal we do not charge any author fees.

Too few articlesOnly 1 articles from the last 24 months carry both submission and acceptance dates, too few for a median
Only articles that were accepted and published are counted, not the time spent on rejected manuscripts, so this usually runs longer than a publisher's "time to first decision".
