ICON, founded in 1995, is the journal of record for ICOHTEC, an international organization for the history of technology. Published annually, ICON seeks to be a forum for a broad discussion of issues related to technology's impact on social, economic, political, environmental and cultural issues in an international context. ICON's goal is to foster co-operation amongst scholars from all parts of the world by providing timely review and circulation of ideas to an international audience of like-minded individuals.
ICON publishes papers based on research presented at ICOHTEC symposia. ICON also welcomes submissions from non-ICOHTEC members, and particularly encourages submissions from authors for whom English is not their first language. All papers are refereed, and authors are offered editorial assistance to improve clarity and vigor of written expression.
ICON publishes papers covering all aspects and periods in the history of technology, but devotes special attention to the discussion of contemporary problems of technology in their socio-economic and cultural settings. A typical issue is about 200 pages long, contains ten to twelve papers and comprises:
papers based on original research
specially invited papers on the history of technology
and on interdisciplinary connections with other fields of research
conference reports
book and journal reviews
evaluation of technical museum exhibits
bibliographical reports
