The Royal Society’s Philosophical Transactions, first published in March 1665, is the world’s longest-running scientific journal. The Royal Society publishes ten high impact journals and their archive, dating back 350 years, contains some of the most significant scientific papers ever published, including Michael Faraday’s ground-breaking series of electrical experiments, Isaac Newton’s invention of the reflecting telescope and Stephen Hawking’s first research paper.
Participating institutions receive access to the Royal Society’s journals and affiliated authors can also publish in all journals without paying article processing charges (APCs).
