History

The journal began in 1831 as a compilation of abstracts of papers in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society , the older Royal Society publication, that began in 1665.

The journal has changed names several times. Initially it was called Abstracts of the Papers Communicated to the Royal Society of London. In 1854, the name became Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. [2] In 1905, the journal rebranded and was split into

As of 2017, the two series are called

Proceedings of the Royal Society is now the Royal Society's main research journal, while Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society publishes articles from invited authors in themed issues.

Proceedings of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences

Access policy

All articles are available free at the journals' websites after one year for Proceedings B and two years for Proceedings A. Between 11 and 70 years after publication they are behind a paywall, and after that they enter the free digital archive. [7] [8] Authors may have their articles made immediately open access (under Creative Commons license) on payment of an article processing charge. Since January 2023 Proceedings A and Proceedings B are online only.

Biophysics is an interdisciplinary science that applies approaches and methods traditionally used in physics to study biological phenomena. Biophysics covers all scales of biological organization, from molecular to organismic and populations. Biophysical research shares significant overlap with biochemistry, molecular biology, physical chemistry, physiology, nanotechnology, bioengineering, computational biology, biomechanics, developmental biology and systems biology.
