Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology

Last updated

History

The Journal of Photochemistry was established in 1972 under founding editor-in-chief Richard P. Wayne. [1] Originally published quarterly, by 1987 frequency had increased to monthly. [2]

In 1986, the 38th Council of the American Society for Photobiology (ASP) established a committee to investigate the proposal that the European Society for Photobiology (ESP) share the operation of the ASP official journal, Photochemistry and Photobiology . In 1987, financial and contractual problems prevented agreement and, instead, ESP contracted with Elsevier, [3] leading to the restructuring of the Journal of Photochemistry into two separate journals: the Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology A: Chemistry, [4] continuing under Richard P. Wayne [5] and covering photochemistry and the Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology B: Biology [6] under founding editor Giulio Jori, [7] covering photobiology.

The Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology C: Photochemistry Reviews was first published in 2000 [8] with Akira Fujishima as founding editor-in-chief. When the journal was first established, it aimed to increase from two issues a year to four, [9] an objective achieved and maintained since 2003. [8]
