Thank you for your continued support for our publications. Venki Ramakrishnan President of the Royal Society 6 JOURNALS CATALOGUE 2017 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 Benefits of subscribing to Royal Society journals All Royal Society journals are available by subscription, either as individual titles, in subject-based packages (physical sciences or biological sciences) or as a complete package covering all interdisciplinary science subject areas and including our complete digital journal archive. • All packages secure FREE access to the relevant online archive content from 1665, plus perpetual access to subscribed years for all subscriptions.

  • 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.

  • The Royal Society Moves to Continuous Publication
    Insights – 26(2), July 2013 Royal Society moves to continuous publication | Helen Duriez 350 years at the cutting edge of scientific publishing – the Royal Society moves to continuous publication ‘Continuous publication’ is a digital-friendly concept that does exactly what it says on the tin. It is the idea that individual journal articles are published online, in their final format, as soon as they are ready. Collectively, they form a continuous feed of published articles. These articles are no longer constrained by the traditional print schedule, which means that citation details are available straight away and the reader has confidence that they are reading the version of record. A number of newly launched journals have experimented with a continuous format over the past few years, although to see established journals making the switch to a different publication model is still rare. So when the Royal Society, publisher of the world’s first science journal, decided to transition its titles to a continuous publication model, it was a bold move. This case study examines the reasons behind the move and the lessons that were learned. Introduction The Royal Society publishes nine peer-reviewed journals across the physical and biological sciences, including the world’s first science journal: Philosophical Transactions (now published in two parts, A1 and B2). In recent years, digital usage of its suite of journals has steadily overtaken print, to the point where the journals are now primarily found and downloaded from the internet. With the introduction of systematic digital archiving and curation, it has become clear that the future of published research will almost exclusively HELEN DURIEZ be online, and therefore steps are being taken towards removing the constraints that print ePublishing Manager production places upon online publication.

One example is the driving forces published studies that such ion gradients generate electric fields and in the early embryonic development and morphogenesis in general. direct currents, which are able to form patterns within cell membranes Recently, a very well compiled commentary summed up the history (e.g. in the early embryo), cell arrays (e.g. in the developing lens) and of the physical (mostly mechanical) forces in early embryogenesis [1] tissues (e.g. neural tube formation). Furthermore, not only small ions but one physical force was left out completely: the electric force or the like sodium or potassium can be involved in this field patterning but charges of molecules and ions and their gradients.

  • A Selection of New Arrivals September 2017
    A selection of new arrivals September 2017 Rare and important books & manuscripts in science and medicine, by Christian Westergaard. Flæsketorvet 68 – 1711 København V – Denmark Cell: (+45)27628014 www.sophiararebooks.com AMPERE, Andre-Marie. Mémoire. INSCRIBED BY AMPÈRE TO FARADAY AMPÈRE, André-Marie. Mémoire sur l’action mutuelle d’un conducteur voltaïque et d’un aimant. Offprint from Nouveaux Mémoires de l’Académie royale des sciences et belles-lettres de Bruxelles, tome IV, 1827. Bound with 18 other pamphlets (listed below). [Colophon:] Brussels: Hayez, Imprimeur de l’Académie Royale, 1827. $38,000 4to (265 x 205 mm). Contemporary quarter-cloth and plain boards (very worn and broken, with most of the spine missing), entirely unrestored. Preserved in a custom cloth box. First edition of the very rare offprint, with the most desirable imaginable provenance: this copy is inscribed by Ampère to Michael Faraday. It thus links the two great founders of electromagnetism, following its discovery by Hans Christian Oersted (1777-1851) in April 1820. The discovery by Ampère (1775-1836), late in the same year, of the force acting between current-carrying conductors was followed a year later by Faraday’s (1791-1867) first great discovery, that of electromagnetic rotation, the first conversion of electrical into mechanical energy. This development was a challenge to Ampère’s mathematically formulated explanation of electromagnetism as a manifestation of currents of electrical fluids surrounding ‘electrodynamic’ molecules; indeed, Faraday directly criticised Ampère’s theory, preferring his own explanation in terms of ‘lines of force’ (which had to wait for James Clerk Maxwell (1831-79) for a precise mathematical formulation).
