CfP special issue of Synthese on "Reliability", Deadline: 11 Nov 2018

Special issue of SYNTHESE on Reliability

Current political, social and even scientific debates all hinge upon 
whether data, inferences and/or belief forming processes are reliable (the 
replication crisis and fake news are just tips of the iceberg). We are 
calling for philosophical/methodological contributions which help us 
through these difficult circumstances.

Given the variety of intertwined problems we are calling for contributions 
addressing the notion of reliability [broadly construed]. In particular, 
we are calling for contributions to

(*) reliability, its uses and models in the sciences and methodologies 
(e.g., empirical, theoretical, social);

(*) reliability in the philosophy of the sciences, including, among other 
approaches, formal epistemology;

(*) traditional main-stream approaches to reliability;

(*) reliability and the replication crisis and

(*) reliable inference.

For further information, please contact the guest editors at 
stefano.bonzio@gmail.com, juergen_landes@yahoo.de or 
barbaraosimani@gmail.com. The deadline for submissions is 11.11.2018. 
Please, submit your contributions via Synthese's editorial manager. Make 
sure to select this SI when selecting an article type. Submissions should 
be prepared like any other submission to Synthese prepared to under-go 
double-blind peer-review.
