Thomas Söderqvist In July we reported how ten editors of some of the leading international journals for history and philosophy of science and social studies of science had issued a joint declaration against the current attempts, initiated by the European Science Foundation, to establish a European rating system for humanities journals (ERIH).
Now, two and a half months later, almost all editors of international journals in this area of the humanities have joined the declaration:
- Hanne Andersen (Centaurus)
- Roger Ariew & Moti Feingold (Perspectives on Science)
- A. K. Bag (Indian Journal of History of Science)
- June Barrow-Green & Benno van Dalen (Historia mathematica)
- Keith Benson (History and Philosophy of the Life Sciences)
- Marco Beretta (Nuncius)
- Michel Blay (Revue d’Histoire des Sciences)
- Cornelius Borck (Berichte zur Wissenschaftsgeschichte)
- Geof Bowker and Susan Leigh Star (Science, Technology and Human Values)
- Massimo Bucciantini & Michele Camerota (Galilaeana: Journal of Galilean Studies)

In other words, almost all journal editors in one of the central and established fields of the humanities clearly distance themselves from the ongoing European bureaucratic scientometric project.
