About the journal
Aims & scope
Notes and Records is the Royal Society's journal on the history of science.
It reports on the most current research and archival activities in the field of history and philosophy of science.
In addition to publishing peer-reviewed research articles, Notes and Records includes ‘recollections?or autobiographical accounts written by Fellows recording important moments in the history of 20th Century science, news covering archival and online resource projects, book reviews and essay reviews.
Published in January, May and September each year, it is required reading for historians, researchers and anyone interested in science and its path through history.
