    Managing the Growth of Peer Review at the Royal Society Journals, 1865-1965.Pierpaolo Dondio, Didier Torny, Flaminio Squazzoni & Aileen Fyfe - 2020 - Science, Technology, and Human Values 45 (3):405-429.
    This article examines the evolution of peer review and the modern editorial processes of scholarly journals by analyzing a novel data set derived from the Royal Society’s archives and covering 1865-1965, that is, the historical period in which refereeing became firmly established. Our analysis reveals how the Royal Society’s editorial processes coped with both an increasing reliance on refereeing and a growth in submissions, while maintaining collective responsibility and minimizing research waste. By engaging more of its fellows in editorial activity, (...)

    Introduction: Editorship and the editing of scientific journals, 1750–1950.Aileen Fyfe & Anna Gielas - 2020 - Centaurus 62 (1):5-20.
    Mainly known for its links to the periodical market and radical politics, this article recontextualizes the editorship of William Nicholson (1753–1815) in terms of its roots in the metropolitan natural philosophical circles of the second half of the 18th century as well as its impact on experimenters and men of science after 1797. The article argues that Nicholson's editorship of the Journal of Natural Philosophy, Chemistry, and the Arts was a means to expand his philosophical significance among natural philosophers at (...)

    Self-help for learned journals: Scientific societies and the commerce of publishing in the 1950s.Aileen Fyfe - 2022 - History of Science 60 (2):255-279.
    In the decades after the Second World War, learned society publishers struggled to cope with the expanding output of scientific research and the increased involvement of commercial publishers in the business of publishing research journals. Could learned society journals survive economically in the postwar world, against this competition? Or was the emergence of a sales-based commercial model of publishing – in contrast to the traditional model of subsidized journal publishing – an opportunity to transform the often-fragile finances of learned societies? (...)

    The Business of Isis since the 1950s.Kathryn Bruce & Aileen Fyfe - 2024 - Isis 115 (3):519-535.
    Since 1952, the History of Science Society has been responsible for the substantial human and financial resources required to sustain the journal Isis. The editorial history of Isis has previously been covered by those closely involved with it, but these practitioner histories only occasionally offer insight into the business of running Isis. We have used the Society’s archives to investigate the behind-the-scenes operations of the journal. In 1953, the editor and one assistant had to do everything besides the actual printing. (...)

    Telling stories.Aileen Fyfe & Paul Smith - 2003 - British Journal for the History of Science 36 (4):471-476.
    In the beginning, there was Dava Sobel and Longitude: The True Story of a Lone Genius Who Solved the Greatest Scientific Problem of His Time . Others followed, in a veritable flood which D. P. Miller recently dubbed the ‘Sobel Effect’. Academic historians of science have been concerned by this flood, partly because people other than them are making money out of ‘their’ subject, but also because of the ways it might affect the public perception of the history of science.
