[edit] Mission Statement
"Time bears a unique and direct pertinence to all human concerns. Time is a fundamental feature of the physical universe, of the life process, of the functions of the mind, and of collective behavior. In humans, temporal experience is all pervasive, intimate and immediate. Life, death and time combine in a dynamic unity that has been of concern to all great philosophies and religions and to the arts and humanities.
"Since 1966, the International Society for the Study of Time (ISST) has been providing a framework for an interdisciplinary dialogue about the nature of time. KronoScope, edited by an international board of scholars, carries forward the work of ISST. By offering an open-ended platform for the cross-fertilization of scholarly and scientific ideas, it helps professional men and women become acquainted with the nature of time as seen from their own and from other fields of knowing. As a journal, its goal is to accommodate the expanding concerns of the global community in search of understanding and meaning."

[edit] Relation to open science publishing
As of 2006, Brill only offers the public a view of the abstracts in Kronoscope and requires one purchase its online articles. Its position at present remains unknown with respect to the challenge from the Public Library of Science and its supporters, who in 2001 signed a petition calling for all scientists to pledge that from September of 2001 they would discontinue submission of papers to journals which did not make the full-text of their papers available to all, free and unfettered after a six-month period from publication. Other academic journals such as Nature have responded by allowing authors to self-archive their original submission, after an embargo date, for example on the arXiv.org e-print archive.
