Very excited to be en route to @royalsociety to launch the fantastic 'Science in the Making' digital archive. Explore over 30,000 documents linked to the history of RS journal publishing: original manuscripts (with edits!), peer reviews, correspondence... makingscience.royalsociety.org
I'm not too old to learn a new microblogging platform, surely? But it's a long time since I learned to use this one. I'm currently trying @[email protected]
This is only the start of an exciting future for this important monograph... @DavidPriceUCL @profgeraintrees @KurtDeketelaere @uclnews @LERUnews
As an OA monograph, our "A History of Scientific Journals, 1665-2015" has reached 80 different countries already. Just 15 print sales so far - but over 1,800 downloads in the first month!! @UCLpress Spread the word: doi.org/10.14324/111.9…

@AileenFyfe @CRostvik First month downloads have arrived (see more info at uclpress.co.uk/statistics). Interesting to see how many downloads we've had in Mexico!
If you can't wait to get your paws on our History of Scientific Journals, download it for free. (Also: more practical for those who read while commuting!) @UCLpress @univofstandrews doi.org/10.14324/111.9…
Although... Over 1,500 downloads in just 3 weeks is pretty special, too. Especially seeing the global range: I doubt the physical copies have made it to Indonesia, Mexico or Bulgaria quite yet (but feel free to post a photo and prove me wrong!) #openaccessweek2022
Academic publishing has changed so much over 350 years, but nothing beats the excitement of seeing the finished printed product! (Yes, it's a fat paperback, but 3-5-0 years of scientific journals, after all... Or 660 pages of digital PDF, free doi.org/10.14324/111.9…)
Ooh! A box has arrived... A box that looks like it might have my author's copies of A History of Scientific Journals...! It may have been out for 3 weeks open access, but it will still be exciting to see the physical printed copies... @CRostvik @UCLpress doi.org/10.14324/111.9…
The book is out!! It's 10 yrs since the seed of the idea that became the @ahrcpress grant... which became a research project with @StAndrewsHist and @royalsociety... which generated lots of articles and other outputs... and now, the book! (next: the film?!)
Congratulations to @AileenFyfe, @NoahMoxham, Julie McDougall-Waters, and @CRostvik! Their #openaccess book A History of Scientific Journals: Publishing at the Royal Society, 1665-2015 publishes today! ow.ly/ov3H50KrXJ2 @AHRCPhilTrans
Even I was a bit surprised when I literally charted the transition from deficit to surplus for learned journal publishing @RSocPublishing. I already knew the general story, but seeing it visually was incredibly striking (red line=break-even, Fig 5 from royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…)
Brilliantly charts the journey of the journals from a financial drain on the Society, propped up by Government and industry sposorship, through break-even in the 50s, to a major - and expected - revenue stream from the 60s/70s
Approaching book publication date reminds me that 'making my data open' was on the to-do list! Trying to make my excel spreadsheets genuinely useable by others involves a lot of readme text to explain things. Open would be easy; FAIR will take time... #OpenData #openscience
The approaching publication day for our History of Scientific Journals book seems like a good moment to wind up this project twitter account. If you don't already, please follow us individually @AileenFyfe @CRostvik and @NoahMoxham. uclpress.co.uk/products/187262
Publication day approaches... I've never had a specific date before, just vaguely 'Fall', so the arrival of author's advance copies of previous books was a slight surprise (in a good way). This time, I'm sitting waiting, anticipating, hoping! uclpress.co.uk/products/187262
Interested in the challenges of circulating printed scientific knowledge in the 18thC? Or of completing your library set of @RSocPublishing Philosophical Transactions? If you missed my talk @LindaHall_org, the recording is available on the events page …losophicaltransactions.splashthat.com
TONIGHT at 7 PM CT - After Hours with #PhilosophicalTransactions. @AileenFyfe and @JECumby will discuss scientific periodical publishing in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries through the @royalsociety's legendary journal. Register for free: bit.ly/3e1VkcN
With thanks to @ahrcpress @RSocPublishing @univofstandrews and @UCLpress for getting us to this stage!

Does anybody have equivalent data on historic rejection rates for other journals? I know why the @RSocPublishing rejection rate was so low until the 1990s (having to submit via a fellow was an effective filter), but how out of sync was it with other journals in 1970s/80s?
Scholars of #peerreview: I've just posted new graphs showing submissions, and rejection rate, from 1952 onwards at the @RSocPublishing journals. See arts.st-andrews.ac.uk/philosophicalt…
