Other resources

• Hippias philosophy search engine.
  Hippias is a peer-reviewed search engine that provides access to philosophy-related resources on the World-Wide Web. Quality is controlled by a system of hyperlinked internet sites which are managed by professionals who serve as the associate editors of the project. The same procedures that govern quality also serve to limit the scope of Hippias to resources of interest to philosophers. There is also The Argos Project, a limited area search engine dedicated to ancient and medieval internet resources.

• John Agar's list of journals.
  A page of links to about 44 journals for history of science, philosophy of science, sociology of science, history of technology, history of medicine, etc.
