The Journal of the History of Biology focuses on the history of life sciences, addressing the philosophical and social issues faced by biology in various historical contexts. While research from all historical periods is welcomed, there has been a particular emphasis on developments in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in recent years. This journal is recognized as a scholarly forum for Darwin studies, encouraging articles that connect Darwinism with broader social and epistemological issues in the life sciences. It serves both practicing biologists who need a comprehensive understanding of the historical and philosophical foundations of the field, and historians of biology interested in tracking developments and establishing connections with the history of science.

Journal Citation Format

Those examples are references to articles in scholarly journals and how they are supposed to appear in your bibliography.

Not all journals organize their published articles in volumes and issues, so these fields are optional. Some electronic journals do not provide a page range, but instead list an article identifier. In a case like this it's safe to use the article identifier instead of the page range.

A journal article with 1 author

A journal article with 2 authors

A journal article with 3 authors

A journal article with 5 or more authors
