350 years of publishing from the world's oldest science journal– in pictures
The world’s oldest scientific journal, Philosophical Transactions, has entered its 350th year. To mark the occasion, the Royal Society has opened its archives to showcase some of its most ground-breaking papers. The exhibition gives an insider’s glimpse at the editorial procedures involved in science publishing over the years – from the extra scrutiny female scientists received to reviewers’ horror at Darwin’s excessive wordiness. Here’s a selection of images from the Royal Society’s collections
• The Royal Society exhibition is open in London until 23 June, 2015
