Information Ecologies: Using Technology with Heart

Representing and Intervening: Introductory Topics in the Philosophy of Natural Science

Welcome to Valuation Studies! We are very glad that you have set your eyes on the very !rst editorial of this new journal. The aim of this inaugural editorial is manifold. We aim, !rstly, to provide some re"ections about the starting of this journal. This will bring us both to the issue of the perceived topicality of the study of valuation as a social practice as well as our provisional answers to the many questions embedded in the very embarking on such an endeavour. (Why a new journal? Why open access? Why a transdisciplinary scope? Etc.) Secondly, we want to take the opportunity to discuss what we take as the scope of the journal. We feel that the topic of valuation as a social practice would bene!t from a large amount of openness. Yet, there are also limits to the amount of diversity that can be fruitfully embraced within the (digital) covers of any journal. Thirdly, we would also like to address the many questions concerning valuation of academic work that relentlessly surface in an endeavour such as this one. (Will the contributions be any good? Will the journal provide a good arena for scholarly discussions about valuation and the study of it? Will an article published in Valuation Studies given any value in the valuation practices performed by the universities to evaluate faculty and candidates for positions? Etc.) Finally, we would want to touch upon the issue of further actions, ours as well as of others. Valuation Studies 1(1) 2013: 1–10
