Presentation

The Cahiers Droit, Sciences & Technologies aim to promote and disseminate research on the relationships between norms (particularly legal ones) and scientific and technical knowledge, practices, and objects. The journal notably welcomes contributions, without exclusivity, grounded in a Science and Technology Studies approach (field labeled "STS ": Science and Technology Studies or Science, Technology and Society), which explores the reciprocal interactions between social, political, legal, or cultural factors, on the one hand, and scientific and technological objects, research, or practices, on the other. It is open to innovative legal research methodologies and to both pluri- and interdisciplinary work, as well as to studies from various fields within the humanities and social sciences that address the normativities at play in the regulation, governance, or conceptual framing of scientific activities and technical objects.

Although primarily a legal journal, The Cahiers Droit, Sciences & Technologies are strongly committed to interdisciplinarity. The journal publishes various types of scholarly contributions: original articles published either as varia or in thematic issues critically analyzing scientific and technical developments and their normative dimensions; legal news columns and topical commentaries on current legal developments in science and technology; interviews and book reviews.

The Cahiers Droit, Sciences & Technologies are organized in three main sections. The first includes “original articles,” submitted either as varia or within thematic issues, in French or in English. These contributions offer critical legal analyses of scientific and technological developments, or examine such developments through the lens of their normative dimensions: typology, hierarchy, and articulation of norms; the reach of norms in a globalized context; analysis of scientific and technical practices.... The second section gathers “chronicles,” which report on recent legislative and jurisprudential developments across major areas of science and technology. A third section features interviews and book reviews. The “interviews” give voice to key scholars, historical figures, or contemporary actors in the field. The “book reviews” present recent or seminal publications, as well as recently defended doctoral theses in the domain.

Authors published in the Cahiers Droit, Sciences & Technologies include both French and international experts in the field of “Law, Science and Technology,” early-career researchers exploring this area, and scholars from the humanities and social sciences whose work examines normativities produced and mobilized around science and technology. The journal thus aims to serve both as a platform for the dissemination of specialized knowledge and as a space for dialogue and cross-fertilization between research communities.

The Cahiers Droit, Sciences & Technologies are published twice a year, in March and September, and are open access and freely accessible on OpenEdition: https://journals.openedition.org/cdst.
