Transactions of the American Philosophical Society
Transactions is the oldest scholarly publication in North America. It began as a scientific journal in 1771, and over its long history has covered fields of study ranging from astronomy to American history, from archaeology to economics, from linguistics to the history of science. Transactions, which had been publishing a combination of edited volumes and monographs, transitioned to a new format in 2024. It now releases quarterly issues organized around specific themes, with content drawn from papers given at APS conferences and workshops.
