History
The journal was first established as a quarterly publication in July 1913,[7] mostly continuing with this publication rate until it was made bimonthly in 1958 and then monthly in 1964.[1] There was, however, a period during 1940 and then between 1943 and 1946 when it was published half-yearly. The number of issues per volume was reduced from 1977, with two volumes of six issues being published each year.[3] In 1989, the journal was split into two parts: Section A dealt with publications on infectious diseases (Template:OCLC) whilst biomedical research outside that area was published in Section B (Template:OCLC).[3] These sections were re-merged from 1994 but with a new ISSN (0971-5916 replaced Template:ISSN), which remains in use today. The journal has been celebrating its centenary of publications between July 2012 and July 2013.[2][3]
The inaugural editor of the journal was Sir Pardey Lukis (1857–1917), the Director-General of the Indian Medical Service (1910–1917), who served in both positions until his death.[8]
