Publishing Trivia

  • " the first major scientific journals were produced in the 17th century, namely the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London and the Journal des Scavans, both beginning in 1665. Many early journals were associated with scientific societies, and the production of a journal became an important aspiration of any serious scientific organization..." Source:Miller, D. P. (2000).

  • With the introduction of printing into Europe in the middle of the 15th cent. (see type), book publishing sprang into lively existence. The author, the printer, and the publisher of a work were sometimes all the same person, as in the case of members of the Estienne family in France in the 16th cent. Source:Book publishing.. (2016).
