The Royal Society Journals Archive 1665-1996
The Journals Archive of the Royal Society is one of the most important collections of scientific publishing in the world. Discover over 350 years of scientific progression within the following titles:
This version of the archive, purchased in perpetuity by the Library to complement our existing holdings, has been re-digitised, and now offers full colour scans of original peer-reviewed articles. Students, researchers and academic staff are given access to key moments in the history of science, from Halley's description of 'his comet' in 1705, work by Alan Turing during his time at The University of Manchester, to collections of articles from pioneering female scientists such as Dame Kathleen Lonsdale; crystallographer, pacifist and prison reform activist.
New content has been added to the collection in the form of annotations, illustrations, and end matter material. Indexed sub-headers, enhanced metadata and the use of MathML ensure that over 740,000 pages on all areas of science are fully searchable, a scope that make the Royal Society Journals Archive unique. As such, it is a valuable resource not only for students and researchers in the University’s Centre for the History of Science, Technology and Medicine, but also in Biosciences, and disciplines within the Faculty of Science and Engineering, including Chemistry, Computer Science, Mathematics, and Physics & Astronomy.
arXiv is a free distribution service and an open-access archive for nearly 2.4 million scholarly articles in the fields of physics, mathematics, computer science, quantitative biology, quantitative finance, statistics, electrical engineering and systems science, and economics (Provided by Publisher).
