History

The journal was conceived by Sir

research articles. By 1946, five volumes had been published.[2]

In February 1946, 22 previous contributors unanimously resolved to form the Society for Endocrinology and invited all previous authors to be founding members. Editorial board member Alan Parkes was elected as the society's first chairman.[2]

From 1946, the number of issues that the journal published gradually increased. From 1953 to 1960 there were between five and seven issues published each year, and from 1961 to 1965 there were eight to nine issues. Since 1966, the journal has been published monthly.[3] The technological explosion of the 1970s and 1980s, exemplified by the development of recombinant DNA techniques, DNA sequencing, and the invention of PCR, resulted in an increase in research output in the areas of molecular and genetic endocrinology. In response to this, a sister journal entitled Journal of Molecular Endocrinology was founded in 1988.[4]

In 2006, the Journal of Endocrinology was adopted as an official journal of the European Society of Endocrinology and, in 2014, of the Endocrine Society of Australia. [5][6]

The regular use of molecular biology methods in work published in the journal, as well as its molecular-focused sister journal, often resulted in a blurred line between the subject areas covered. Consequently, in 2011 it was decided by the Publications Committee of the Society for Endocrinology that the two journals would have a single joint editorial board. This came into being at the start of 2012. While papers would still be submitted to one or other of the journals, the senior editors would have the opportunity to suggest that manuscripts be transferred between publications.[4]
