Announcing a new forum for interdisciplinary articles:

F O U N D A T I O N S O F S C I E N C E

'Foundations of Science' (FOS) is a Kluwer Academic journal that
investigates fundamental concepts, principles, assumptions, and unsolved
problems that characterise both the traditional scientific disciplines
and the newly emerging interdisciplinary domains. The new editorial
board of FOS would like to announce some original, new changes in
structure, and elicit a call for papers that adhere to this new
structure.

1. FOS wishes to reach as interdisciplinary an audience as possible while
maintaining an advanced level of discussion. Therefore, authors have the
option of submitting papers in a format that consist of two parts:
A nontechnical expository section accessible to scientists of all
disciplines, and a specialised or technical section for experts in the
field.

2. FOS issues will ocassionally also contain Special Issue sections.
Scientists are invited to send proposals for special issues sections to
the editor. If their proposal is accepted, they will act as guest editor
for this section.

3. A new section of FOS titled the *Third Millennium Archive* will
consist of invited papers from prominent scientists with synthetic or
speculative ideas about the state of science and the state of the world
on the verge of the third millennium.
