Gewina-Symposium: Van Lectio tot PowerPoint. Over de geschiedenis van het onderwijs aan de Nederlandse universiteiten (Utrecht, 26 november 2010)

Menige universitaire docent vertoont op college foto’s of fragmenten van tv-uitzendingen, documentaires, interviews en zelfs van speelfilms. In een handomdraai laat hij of zij veel voorkomende ziektebeelden of oude handschriften op een beeldscherm verschijnen. Anderen ondersteunen hun college met grafieken en tabellen.

Studium: instructions for authors

Studium is a double ‘peer-reviewed’ journal, publishing research papers on the History of Scholarship, Science, Medicine, Technology and Universities. It is the official journal of GEWINA, the Low Countries Society for these fields, founded in 1913.

Studium does not limit itself to a particular period, field or place. It does however give special attention to the Low Countries and its former colonies.

Studium has a publishing frequency of four issues a year (from 2011 onwards three issues). The editorial board tries to publish once a year a number devoted to a special theme. The main languages of Studium are Dutch and French, but also papers in the English or German languages can be submitted. In principle, the length of a paper is some 5.000 words (main text without references), but after consultation of the editors this rule can be adapted. Submitted papers must be original and based on innovative research. Each paper will be submitted to an external referee procedure. The editors base their decision on these referee reports.

Apart from genuine scholarly papers, in the section ‘Pandora’s box’, Studium also publishes small notes, archival findings, description of instruments, etc. Calls for papers, and other announcements are published on the website of the Society Gewina, nowadays a part of the “Dutch – History of Science – Web Centre” (DWC), www.dwc.knaw.nl.

Authors are requested to submit their text in a digital format at the Editor-in-chief, journal@gewina.nl.

After the final acceptance the manuscript has to be submitted in the following way:

  1. The text of the paper is in Word. References are given in footnotes according to the module in Word. The reference numbers are placed after the punctuation marks. In the text and footnotes only itilac is used (no bold!). Section marks are not numbered.
