College and Research Libraries By E D N A M A E B R O W N New Periodicals of 1946—Part I AFIIW scholarly journals have made their first appearance during the early months of 1946. Especially significant are the new publications in the fields of chemis- try, medicine, and law. Chemistry In January 1946 there appeared the first issue of the Journal of Polymer Research, which plans to report original research on all phases of the chemistry and physics of large molecules. Although the text is to be in English, contributions from foreign sci- entists are to be included. T h e editorial board is composed of representatives from the American Chemical Society, the Ameri- can Physical Society, and the Society of Rheology. Also in January there appeared the Journal of Colloid Science, having an international staff of editors with an Ameri- can editor-in-chief. T h e first issue contains original papers from staff members of such institutions as the University of California, Cambridge University, and the University Medical School in Budapest. Powder Metallurgy Bulletin has for its fields the realm of powder metallurgy and related sections of physical and general metallurgy. Original articles, reviews, and abstracts are to be included. Medicine T w o new journals concerning geriatrics have been published. Geriatrics, the official journal of the American Geriatrics Society, is to be devoted to research and clinical study of the diseases and processes of the aged and aging. T h e contributors to the first number are chiefly physicians, many of them medical school professors. Published for the Gerontological Society is the Jour- nal of Gerontology. T h e first issue con- sists of original articles dealing with, or bearing on, the problems of the aging, re- view articles, and selected abstracts from current literature appropriate to the sub- ject. A supplement is issued separately which digests in nontechnical language, articles from the journal. T h e publisher of the Journal of the History of Medicine and Allied Sciences is planning a periodical which will cover all aspects of the history of medicine, public health, dentistry, nurs- ing, pharmacy, veterinary medicine, and the various sciences that impinge on medicine. A sampling from the contents of the first issue shows an article on medical education in seventeenth-century England, a bio- graphical sketch of an early American phy- sician, and a history of pharmacopoeias. T h e American Medical Association is publishing a new journal, Occupational Medicine, which is to serve as "a medium for the ad- vancement of knowledge on the diseases of industry and for the publication of sci- entific investigations in this field." Bibli- ographies accompany each article and abstracts from current literature and book reviews are included. T h e Journal of the American Medical Women's Association aims to be a representative organ for re- porting the best type of work by women in medicine and at the same time to offer an opportunity to members of the medical pro- fession to submit articles for publication.
