JOURNALS CATALOGUE 2019 5 Our commitment to innovation in publishing continues with our transparent pricing mechanism, set up to ensure that our journal prices remain fair and to factor in any future growth in open access content. Our latest and most innovative digital open access journal, Royal Society Open Science , publishing high-quality original research across the entire range of science, is available for free as part of our main journal packages. The Society is also committed to long-term digital preservation; ensuring perpetual access so that today’s web-published research remains available to tomorrow’s readers and continues to influence the science of the future. Thank you for your continued support of our publications. Venki Ramakrishnan President of the Royal Society 6 JOURNALS CATALOGUE 2019 About the Royal Society The Royal Society is a self-governing Fellowship of many of the world’s most distinguished scientists drawn from all areas of science, engineering, and medicine. The Society’s fundamental purpose, reflected in its founding Charters of the 1660s, is to recognise, promote, and support excellence in science and to encourage the development and use of science for the benefit of humanity. Current Fellows include Jocelyn Bell Burnell, Richard Dawkins, Stephen Hawking, Tim Berners-Lee and John Sulston. There are currently 25 Nobel Prize winners among the Fellows and many other holders of equally prestigious awards. Previous Fellows include Isaac Newton, Christopher Wren, Charles Darwin, Ernest Rutherford and Dorothy Hodgkin. Royal Society publishing is home to the world’s longest running scientific journal. The first issue of Philosophical Transactions was published by the Secretary of the Royal Society, Henry Oldenburg, in 1665. The journal would become a key means of establishing scientific priority, and its editorial processes would lay the groundwork for the modern practice of ‘peer review’.

This ensures that we are not paid both a subscription and an article publication charge (APC) fee for the same article. If the percentage of non-OA articles drops so will the price. First we estimated cost inflation based upon the Retail Price Index (RPI) at 3.6 percent. Then we took account of the recent percentage change in non-OA articles published. For 2019 prices, we did this by looking at two rolling three-year periods, which were 2014 – 2016 and 2015 – 2017. We excluded paid OA articles in our calculations and also any one-ob rises in content to clear a backlog as these are temporary changes. Here a cap of +/- 15 percent protects the subscription prices from fluctuating too suddenly. There were no other economic factors to take into account. Full transparency, pricing information and all figures can be found at royalsociety.org/journals/librarians JOURNALS CATALOGUE 2019 11 How to order All Royal Society subscriptions and book orders are administered by Turpin Distribution.

  • Chapter 23 Hunter-Gatherer Families and Parenting
    797 Chapter 23 Hunter-Gatherer Families and Parenting Coren L. Apicella and Alyssa N. Crittenden Our species is characterized by remarkable biological success. In the past 10,000 years, since the advent of agriculture, our population has increased over 1,000-fold (Coale, 1974; Westing, 2013). We have successfully populated all reaches of the planet, calling the most extreme of habitats, home. This remarkable success is largely a consequence of our extraordinary ability to cooperate with one another. While cooperation is observed in many other species, human cooperation is anomalous in both scale and nature. Humans are unique in that they form long-lasting, nonreproductive ties with genetically unrelated individuals. Social learning in humans further accentuates the utility of cooperative ties by allowing adaptive information to accrue over many generations (Boyd & Richerson, 2009). It was these cognitive and social processes that enabled us to adapt to a wide-range of environments and ultimately led to our unsurpassed success (Tennie, Call, & Tomasello, 2009). Possibly the biggest challenge faced by our Pleistocene ancestors, who lived roughly 2.5 million years ago until the advent of agriculture, was how to raise energetically expensive, big-brained children in unpredictable and changing climates. The solution to this problem was to extend cooperation beyond the pair bond and nuclear families (Emlen, 1995; Hill & Hurtado, 2009; Hrdy, 1999). Thus, in order to understand hunter-gatherer families and parenting, one must consider the reproductive

  • Security Implications of Emerging Biotechnologies: Workshop Summary, Analysis, and Recommendations
    Security Implications of Emerging Biotechnologies: Workshop Summary, Analysis, and Recommendations Diane DiEuliis and Charles Lutes June 2016 Security Implications of Emerging Biotechnologies Workshop Summary, Analysis, and Recommendations Diane DiEuliis and Charles Lutes On April 26th, 2016, the Center for the Study of Weapons of Mass Destruction (CSWMD) at National Defense University held a workshop to explore “Security Implications of Emerging Biotechnologies.” Participants from government, NGOs and academia discussed opportunities and challenges of a new era of biotechnology, one highlighted by the advancing ease with which the genomes of organisms can be engineered for specific purposes, potentially more rapidly than we are prepared to assess and deal responsibly with its ramifications. Synthetic biology and associated genome editing tools will be essential for addressing the global challenge of resource scarcity, provide unprecedented advances in public health and medicine, and create innovative products that can support national defense, as well as commodities that stimulate the US economy. At the same time, new dual-use technologies will present significant challenges to biosecurity, biosafety, and have already begun to generate ethical and moral dilemmas. Participants stressed the need to address these issues in ways that do not stifle the technology’s advancement nor America’s competitiveness in the global bioeconomy. The workshop was convened to consider the potential biosecurity concerns of emerging biotechnologies and their impact on national security. The dual use problem was discussed in the context of “biosecurity by design,” a concept conceived specifically in preparation for the workshop in which government, industry, academia, national laboratories, and individual users should be mindful of developing potential security solutions at each step of technology development.

  • OST: Public Access to Federally Funded Research
    Response to the Office of Science and Technology Policy public consultation on Public Access to Federally Funded Research To: Office of Science and Technology Policy Attn: Open Government Recommendations 725 17th Street Washington, DC 20502 via e-mail to: [email protected] January 2010 The Royal Society welcomes the opportunity to respond to the OSTP consultation on public access to federally funded research. The issue of open access, in general, of which this consultation is a significant part is of critical importance to the future development of scholarly communication and we believe it is essential to consult as widely as possible before preparing any legislation. Introduction The Royal Society is the UK’s national academy of science and has been publishing scientific journals since 1665 when Philosophical Transactions was founded. Philosophical Transactions effectively invented the system of peer review which is now standard practice for all high quality journals. It is now published biweekly and is the world's longest running scientific journal. The Society publishes seven peer reviewed journals in all: Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A and Proceedings of the Royal Society A cover mathematics, the physical sciences and engineering; Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B and Proceedings of the Royal Society B cover the biological sciences; Biology Letters provides rapid publication of short articles on all aspects of biology; Journal of the Royal Society Interface is a high impact, international journal covering interdisciplinary research at the boundary between the physical and life sciences; Notes and Records of the Royal Society is dedicated to the history of science.
