                            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 40 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.

                            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’.

              How we set 2019 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 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-off 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.

                             Each volume of Biographical Memoirs 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 lives
                             of these eminent mathematical, physical, biological and
                             medical scientists and engineers.

                             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 and Francis Crick in the
