About
Minerva is one of the world's leading journals publishing work about issues of science policy and the organization and management of universities and scientific institutions. Beyond that, it is devoted to the study of ideas, traditions, cultures, and institutions in science, higher education, and research. It deals with historical as well as present practices and on local as well as global issues. The journal does not represent one single school of thought, but rather welcomes diversity within the rules of rational discourse.
The journal features peer-reviewed articles and essay reviews. In addition, special issues are periodically published on themes of topical importance.
Minerva was founded in 1962 by Edward Shils. The present Editor, Peter Weingart, has assumed editorship in 2008 and the journal was affiliated with the Institute for Science & Technology Studies (IWT) at Bielefeld University. When the I²SoS was founded in 2013 and succeeded the IWT, it became Minerva's new home institution.
