The Royal Society of London is celebrating the 350th anniversary of its Philosophical Transactions, the world's oldest scientific journal. The journal has pioneered many of the features that we associate with scientific journal publishing, such as peer review, establishing priority, archiving, and dissemination. The journal evidently was founded in 1665 by the Society's secretary, Henry Oldenburg.
This Royal Society blog post by Julie McDougall-Waters provides some context to the celebration. DTLR joins in congratulating the Royal Society in celebrating this anniversary.
