History

The British Journal of Pharmacology was established in 1946 as the British Journal of Pharmacology and Chemotherapy, and originally published by the British Medical Association. In its first few years, many publications in the journal came from exiled German pharmacologists who had resettled in the United Kingdom. [2] The journal obtained its current title in 1968, when the journal moved publisher to Macmillan. [3] [4] It has been published by Wiley-Blackwell since 2009. [5]
