A message from the President of the Royal Society
As we look forward to the future of scientific publishing the Royal Society continues to promote science to a wide readership and publish research of the highest quality. The Society’s international scope and reputation ensure that it continues to publish work that is at the cutting edge as the world becomes increasing reliant on science and technology.
This catalogue contains details of the Royal Society’s periodicals and journal packages. Our interdisciplinary journals have become important resources for scientific centres around the globe, communicating ground- breaking scientific discovery across the life and physical sciences, and also recently in the cross-disciplinary research emerging at the boundary between these two disciplines.
On page 18 you will find details of the Royal Society journal collection: Science in the making, which will be a major resource for historians of science, scientists and science enthusiasts in the years to come and help librarians and institutions to complete their archive collection. JOURNALS CATALOGUE 2017 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 in order 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 for our publications.

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. JOURNALS CATALOGUE 2017 7
How we set 2017 prices with our transparent pricing mechanism
In 2012, we introduced a transparent pricing mechanism that accounts for the impact of Open Access (OA) content and its ‘author pays’ revenue. 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 1.3 percent. Then we took account of the recent percentage change in non-OA articles published.
For 2017 prices, we did this by looking at two rolling three-year periods, which were 2012 – 14 and 2013 – 15. We excluded paid OA articles in our calculations and also any one-off rises in content to clear a backlog as these are temporary changes. Here a cap of +/- 20 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 8 JOURNALS CATALOGUE 2017

Biographical Memoirs of the Fellows of the Royal Society is a collection of biographies which illustrate the lives and important achievements of deceased Fellows and Foreign Members of the Royal Society. Published annually since 1955, it followed the Obituary Notices of Fellows of the Royal Society, which was published between 1932 and 1954. Before 1932 Obituary Notices appeared in the Proceedings of the Royal Society.
Each volume contains a carefully researched and creatively written set of memoirs, which portray both the human and professional sides of scientific success and accomplishment. Often they are written by a close colleague or research collaborator but with a contribution from the family, and give insights into the fascinating and creative lives of these eminent mathematical, physical, biological and medical scientists and engineers.
Each year around 20 memoirs of deceased Fellows of the Royal Society are collated. Notable published memoirs include Nobel Laureates Paul Dirac and Martin Ryle which appeared in volume 32, and, more recently, Margaret Gowing and Arthur Kornberg (Nobel Laureate) in volume 58.
