History

The journal was first established as a quarterly publication in July 1913, [7] mostly continuing with this publication rate until it was made bimonthly in 1958 and then monthly in 1964. [1] There was, however, a period during 1940 and then between 1943 and 1946 when it was published half-yearly. The number of issues per volume was reduced from 1977, with two volumes of six issues being published each year. [3] In 1989, the journal was split into two parts: Section A dealt with publications on infectious diseases ( OCLC   684369142) whilst biomedical research outside that area was published in Section B ( OCLC   684475647). [3] These sections were re-merged from 1994 but with a new ISSN (0971-5916 replaced ISSN   0019-5340), which remains in use today. The journal has been celebrating its centenary of publications between July 2012 and July 2013. [2] [3]

The inaugural editor of the journal was Sir Pardey Lukis (1857–1917), the Director-General of the Indian Medical Service (1910–1917), who served in both positions until his death. [8]

The Vancouver system, also known as Vancouver reference style or the author–number system, is a citation style that uses numbers within the text that refer to numbered entries in the reference list. It is popular in the physical sciences and is one of two referencing systems normally used in medicine, the other being the author–date, or "Harvard", system. Vancouver style is used by MEDLINE and PubMed.

He received his medical training at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, becoming a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons in 1890.

Theodore Lukis, his son, was expected to follow in his father's footsteps and qualified as a medical doctor but was killed during the First World War. Lukis was extremely bitter about his loss, writing that "his has been a wasted life and I can find no justification, for a medical man, who gives up his profession of healing, in order to endeavour to kill his fellow creatures, even though they be enemies". A book co-written by Lukis, Tropical Hygiene for Residents in Tropical and Sub-Tropical Climates, was re-issued in 2010. Lukis also wrote a handbook on midwifery.
