The Royal Society publishes ten high impact journals and their archive, dating back 350 years, contains some of the most significant scientific papers ever published, including Michael Faraday’s ground-breaking series of electrical experiments, Isaac Newton’s invention of the reflecting telescope and Stephen Hawking’s first research paper.
