The Philosophical Magazine

The Philosophical Magazine is one of the longest-running scientific journals in the English language. Its current focus is on materials sciences and physics (particularly condensed matter), but the scope has varied over the years. (There is a Wikipedia article about this serial.)

Publication History

The Philosophical Magazine began in 1798. It absorbed A Journal of Natural Philosophy, Chemistry and the Arts in 1814, and published from then until 1826 as The Philosophical Magazine and Journal. New series, with volume numbers restarting from 1, began in 1827, 1832, 1851, 1876, 1901, 1926, and 1955. The full title of the magazine has varied somewhat over the years. No issue or contribution copyright renewals were found for this serial. (More details) It is still published today.
