It was founded in [[1912]] by [[George Sarton]] and is the official publication of the [[History of Science Society]], the primary professional society for the discipline of the [[history of science and technology]]. It is the oldest English-language journal devoted to the subject, and is published quarterly. Publication is partly supported by an endowment from the Dibner Fund. The ''Current Bibliography'' (formerly the ''Cumulative Bibliography'') of the history of science is published annually as a fifth volume of ''Isis''. This is a bibliography of recent publications in the history of science and related fields, including books, book reviews, and journal articles. Following the retirement of editor John Neu in 1999, the bibliography office moved to the [[University of Oklahoma]]. It appears to have been located in Philadelphia in a previous incarnation. The current editorial office is located at [[York University]] in [[Toronto]]. == References == * http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/Isis/home.html * [http://www.jstor.org/journals/00211753.html JSTOR reference] ==External links== * [http://www.ou.edu/cas/hsci/isis/website/index.html Information on the ''Current Bibliography''] * [http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/Isis/ ''Isis'' homepage] [[Category:Historiography of science]] [[Category:English-language journals]] [[Category:History journals]] [[Category:History of mathematics]] [[Category:University of Chicago journals]] [[Category:Publications established in 1992]] [[de:Isis (Zeitschrift, 1912)]] [[nl:Isis (tijdschrift)]]
