Some might be interested in learning that the Annals of Human Genetics (AHG) is providing electronic access to it 1925 to 1954 editions when it was Known as the "Annals of Eugenics". The USA Today has an article on this which can be accessed here: http://www.usatoday.com/tech/science/columnist/vergano/2011-04-22-eugenics-journal_N.htm
There is an editorial in the current "special" issue of AHG that makes the announcement of the availability of the older issues and the following is a quote from it: |This issue of the Annals of Human Genetics marks the online publication |of the contents printed by the journal between 1925 and 1954 under |the name of Annals of Eugenics. As the first periodical dedicated to |genetics, as applied to humans, this journal published a number of |seminal articles that have gone on to become classic papers of the |scientific literature. A distinguished example, among many, is R. A. |Fisher's 1936 landmark paper on Linear Discriminant Analysis (“The | use of multiple measurements in taxonomic problems,”Annals of Eugenics, |Volume 7, pp. 179–188), which has received over 6,500 citations |to date. The ongoing use and reference to material published by the |Annals of Eugenics, and the somewhat limited availability of the |original printed copy, justifies making this back file available online |to the research community. There are several articles about the history of the journal as mentioned in the following quote: |The present issue of the journal includes four specially commissioned |articles that attempt to contextualize the online publication of the Annals |of Eugenics archive. There are probably many ways in which this archive can be used and psychologists should make use of it even if we might cringe when we come across articles by Pearson, Fisher, and other researchers who are held in esteem. -Mike Palij New York University [email protected] --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [email protected].
