One of the loftiest objectives of scientific societies is to promote science in the different fields of knowledge. The very first scientific society was the Royal Society of London, created in the United Kingdom in 1660, also known by the name of Royal Society of London for Improving Natural Knowledge. It was created as a “college for the promotion of experimental learning of physics and mathematics” and it published the first scientific journal in 1666 under the title of Philosophycal Transactions (1, 2), which remained the most important scientific publication until the emergence of specialized journals in the 19th century. At first, Philosophycal Transactions was home to news, letters and descriptions of experimental reports lacking standardized format or style (3). The first organization to publish a medical journal was the Edinburgh Medical School in 1731, with its Medical Essays and Observations, which became the Edinburgh Medical Journal two years later and was a peer-reviewed publication since 1733 (4). In the United States, the first medical journal was the Medical Repository, published for the first time in 1797 (5). In the United Kingdom, The Lancet appeared in 1823 containing the work developed in the London medical schools as well as case reports, followed by the British Medical Journal in 1853, as a result of the newly created British Medical Association (4). In 1887, Philosophycal Transactions was split into two new publications: one journal focused on mathematics and physics, and the second devoted to biology. In 1989, an important innovation came on stage: anonymous peer review of the content. All of the above is a reminder of the fact that medical journals originated from within scientific societies and medical schools with the aim of describing the methodologies as well as the results of their research and have been characterized from the very beginning by a rigorous anonymous peer review process.Author Biographies
