Originally a single journal, it was split into two separate journals in 1905: Part A: which publishes research related to mathematical, physical, and engineering sciences (including computer science) Part B: which publishes research related to biology The two journals are the Royal Society's main research journals. Many celebrated names in science have published their research in the Proceedings of the Royal Society, including Paul Dirac,[1] Werner Heisenberg,[2] Ernest Rutherford,[3] and Erwin Schrödinger.[4] All articles are available free at the journals' websites after one year for Proceedings B and two years for Proceedings A. Between 11 and 70 years after publication they are behind a paywall, and after that they enter the free digital archive.[5][6] Authors may have their articles made immediately open access (under Creative Commons license) on payment of an article processing charge. Contents 1 History 2 Proceedings of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences 3 Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences 4 External links 5 References History[edit] The journal started out in 1800 as the Abstracts of the Papers Printed in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London as an extension of the journal Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society which was first published in 1665. The Royal Society published four volumes, from 1800 to 1843. Volumes 5 and 6, which appeared from 1843 to 1854, were called Abstracts of the Papers Communicated to the Royal Society of London. Starting with volume 7, in 1854, the Proceedings first appeared under the name Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Publication of the proceedings in this form continued to volume 75 in 1905.[7] Starting with volume 76, the Proceedings were split into Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Containing Papers of a Mathematical and Physical Character Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Containing Papers of a Biological Character. The Proceedings have since undergone further name changes. As of 2017[update], the two series are called Proceedings of the Royal Society A — Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences Proceedings of the Royal Society B — Biological Sciences.
