Annual Reviews history

On December 12, 1934, they submitted articles of incorporation with the California Secretary of State to create the Annual Review of Biochemistry, Ltd., which was organized as a nonprofit.

In 1938, Annual Reviews and the American Physiological Society agreed to collaborate to create a new journal.

The first volume of the Annual Review of Physiology was published in 1939, with the help of Victor E. Hall as assistant editor.

A third journal, the Annual Review of Microbiology, was created in 1947 under the editorship of Charles E. Clifton.

Although the original intent was to be international in scope, the first European editors were not included until 1948, following World War II.

Stanford University began to have a serious space shortage, which resulted in Annual Reviews constructing a new office building in nearby Palo Alto, California in 1956.

He retired from this position as of 1969, but continued to serve on the board of directors as an emeritus member, as well as on the editorial committee of the Annual Review of Biochemistry.

After becoming editor-in-chief in 1995, Samuel Gubins oversaw both a further expansion of journal titles and the first electronic publishing of Annual Reviews journals.

The Annual Review of Sociology and the Annual Review of Medicine were the first to be published electronically, in 1996.

On March 28, 2008, the California Secretary of State approved an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation to change the name officially to Annual Reviews.

Talk about a counterproductive way to spend the workday. For example, by 2015 a report from the Harvard Business Review revealed that at Deloitte it took 1.8 million hours across the firm.

In 2017, Annual Reviews announced its first online magazine, Knowable Magazine, with support from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
