Since the first issue of Philosophical Transactions in 1665, publishing has been at the heart of the Royal Society’s mission to recognise, promote and support excellence in science. We are committed to broad coverage of all science and specialise in publishing cross disciplinary research and the proceedings of Royal Society scientific meetings. Our leading hybrid and open access journals enable scientists to build communities across subject boundaries.
