*Synthese Special Issue -- Reasoning in Physics*

Modern Physics provides an extremely rich testing ground for 
philosophical theories of scientific reasoning. In recent times, we have 
seen the emergence of many new forms of theory confirmation, 
necessitated by the empirical inaccessibility of some of the most 
prominent theories of modern physics and cosmology. This special issue 
aims to explore new forms of scientific reasoning and argumentation in 
physics, with a focus on the relationship between these new reasoning 
strategies and existing philosophical theories of scientific reasoning 
and argumentation. We welcome submissions of individual papers covering 
topics related to reasoning in physics, broadly construed.

*Submissions:* Contributions must be original and not under review 
elsewhere. Although there is no prescribed word or page limit for 
submissions to Synthese, as a rule of thumb, papers typically tend to be 
between 15 and 30 printed pages (in the journal's printed format). 
Submissions should also include a separate title page containing the 
contact details of the author(s), an abstract (150-250 words) and a list 
of 4-6 keywords. All papers will be subject to the journal's standard 
double-blind peer-review. Manuscripts should be submitted online through 
the journal's Editorial Manager. Please choose the appropriate article 
type for your submission by selecting ``S.I. : Reasoning in Physics " 
from the relevant drop down menu.

*Deadline:*  The initial deadline for submissions is April 15, 2018. For 
further information about the special issue, please contact the guest 
editors via benjamin.eva at uni-konstanz.de 
<mailto:benjamin.eva at uni-konstanz.de>.

*Guest Editors: *Benjamin Eva (University of Konstanz) and Stephan 
Hartmann (LMU Munich).
