We are celebrating the 350th anniversary of Philosophical Transactions, the world’s first science journal.
Philosophical Transactions, first published in 1665, pioneered the concepts of scientific priority and peer review which, together with archiving and dissemination, provide the model for almost 30,000 scientific journals today.
You can read more about the history of Philosophical Transactions or visit the exhibition of archives in London.
As part of its 350th anniversary celebrations, all Royal Society journals content is free to access until the end of March 2015.
