Transactions of the American Philosophical Society
Transactions is the oldest scholarly publication in North America, dating back to 1771 and covering various fields of study, ranging from 18th-century American history to the history of science, to various topics in the humanities and scholarly practice. Transactions, which had been publishing a combination of edited issues and monographs, will be moving to a quarterly, all-thematic issue format beginning in 2024. The journal will draw its content from papers given at APS conferences and workshops, as well as a new annual “Useful Knowledge” issue selected from the APS blog, with plans for possible issues drawn from thematically organized grantees’ field reports, similar to those scheduled to appear in Proceedings.
