Extrapolation (journal)

Extrapolation (journal)

"Extrapolation" is an American journal of academic essays on speculative fiction. Founded in 1959 by Thomas D. Clareson, "Extrapolation" was published at the College of Wooster until 1979 when it moved to the Kent State University Press. A decade later, Clareson stepped down as editor and was succeeded by Donald M. Hassler of the KSU English Department. In 2002 it moved to the University of Texas at Brownsville in Brownsville, Texas. At that time Donald M. Hassler became executive editor, and the position of editor was filled by Javier A. Martinez of UTB's English Department.

"Extrapolation" was the first to publish academic work on science fiction and fantasy and continues to be a leader in that specialized genre in the literature of popular culture. Hassler retired from the journal at the end of 2007 at which time Martinez became Managing Editor and a new editorial team took over consisting of Andrew Butler, Michael Levy and Sherryl Vint, with Patricia Melzer serving as book review editor.

Similar academic journals include "Science-Fiction Studies", "Femspec", and "Foundation".
