英國皇家學會慶祝350週年的好康

During the Royal Society's 350th anniversary year, we are celebrating our contribution to science publishing by launching several commemorative initiatives, all of which are completely FREE to access.

Trailblazing is an online, interactive timeline showcasing sixty fascinating and inspiring articles selected from The Royal Society Digital Journal Archive. All articles are accompanied by an illustrated commentary, highlighting the significance of the ground-breaking discovery and its influence on the modern world. Trailblazing is free to access from today.

The Royal Society Digital Journal Archive is arguably the most comprehensive publishing archive in science. It dates back to 1665 and contains more than 65,000 articles - from the very first peer-reviewed paper in Philosophical Transactions in 1665, to the most recent interdisciplinary article in Journal of the Royal Society Interface. The archive is free to access from today until 28 February 2010.

Similar initiatives will be launched throughout the next twelve months, including open access commemorative issues of Philosophical Transactions A and Philosophical Transactions B; and the publication of Seeing Further: the story of science and the Royal Society, edited by Bill Bryson.

Keep up with developments as they happen by following us on Twitter.
