Photochemistry and Photobiology is a bimonthlypeer-reviewedscientific journal coveringphotochemistry andphotobiology. It was established in 1962 and is pub lished byWiley-Blackwell on behalf of theAmerican Society for Photobiology. Theeditor-in-chief isAlexander Greer (Brooklyn College).
The journal's name was decided in Copenhagen at the 1960 International Congress on Photobiology.[1] The journal has been published since 1962,[2] originally byPergamon Press underRobert Maxwell,[1] who personally agreed to give the journal to theAmerican Society for Photobiology (ASP),[3] soon after its formation in 1972, and it has been the society's official journal ever since.[4]
In 1986, the 38th Council of the ASP established a committee to investigate the proposal that theEuropean Society for Photobiology (ESP) would share the operation of the journal with the ASP. Financial and contractual problems prevented agreement and, instead, ESP contracted withElsevier leading to the publication of theJournal of Photochemistry and Photobiology in 1987.[5]
After the widespread challenge of falling journal subscription revenues, the journal was an early participant in thenot-for-profit publishing initiative,BioOne.[6]
The journal is abstracted and indexed inAcademic Search,Biological Abstracts,BIOSIS Previews,CAB HEALTH, CABDirect,Chemical Abstracts Service,CSA Biological Sciences Database,Current Contents/Life Sciences,GeoRef,Index Medicus/MEDLINE/PubMed,ProQuest Health & Medical Complete, Proquest Medical Library, and theScience Citation Index. According to theJournal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2017impact factor of 2.214.[7]
