+
+Lab Notes is a peer-reviewed journal on research design and method in the humanities and social
+sciences.
+
+We publish concise methodological papers (1,200–2,500 words) that document how research is
+actually done: how questions are framed, data are assembled, tools are built or adapted, and
+results are produced, tested, and revised. The journal focuses on the practical conditions
+of inquiry—workflows, decisions, constraints, and collaborations—that rarely appear in
+conventional scholarship.
+
+Submissions are expected to make a clear methodological contribution. This may include the
+introduction of a new method, the adaptation of an existing approach, the evaluation of a
+research design, or a critical account of a failed or partial experiment. We prioritize
+specificity over generality: papers should describe procedures, materials, and reasoning in
+sufficient detail to be understood, reused, or challenged by others.
+
+All articles are peer-reviewed. We aim for a rigorous and efficient editorial process, with a
+focus on clarity, reproducibility, and usefulness to working researchers. The journal supports
+short formats, rapid turnaround, and multiple outputs across digital and print environments.
+
+Lab Notes treats method as a primary object of scholarship. By making research design and
+process visible, the journal seeks to establish a shared record of practice across labs,
+fields, and institutions.
