Current Issue
The Proceedings of the Nova Scotian Institute of Science (PNSIS), published since 1863, is a peer-reviewed, general science journal containing editorials, commentaries, scientific articles, book reviews, and reports of the annual general meetings of the NSIS Council. It is published annually, with occasional special issues. Contributions represent the wide range of natural and physical science currently being conducted in the Province and region, as well as research in engineering and the health professions. Articles often originate from the annual series of public talks, sponsored by the NSIS. The PNSIS is supported in part by a grant from the Department of Tourism, Culture and Heritage, Government of Nova Scotia, and by the Nova Scotia Museum. Together with its website, it is the voice-piece of the NSIS. Everyone active in science and citizen science in Nova Scotia and the Maritimes is encouraged to contribute articles, as well as to be members of the NSIS.
