Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences - Publications

Publications

The transactions of the Academy (Vetenskapsakademiens handlingar) were published as its main series between 1739 and 1974. In parallel, other major series have appeared and gone:

• Öfversigt af Kungl. Vetenskapsakademiens förhandlingar (1844–1903)
• Bihang till Vetenskapsakademiens Handlingar (1872–1902)
• Vetenskapsakademiens årsbok (1903–1969)

The Academy started to publish annual reports in physics and chemistry (1826), technology (1827), botany (1831), and zoology (1832). These lasted into the 1860s, when they were replaced by the single Bihang series (meaning: supplement to the transactions). Starting in 1887, this series was once again split into four sections (afdelning), which in 1903 became independent scientific journals of their own, titled "Arkiv för..." (archive for...), among them

• Arkiv för matematik, astronomi och fysik (1903–1949).

Further restructuring of their topics occurred in 1949 and 1974.

The Academy's first online-only (born digital) journal is Electronic Transactions on Artificial Intelligence or "ETAI" (ISSN 1403-3534). It was founded in 1997 by Erik Sandewall, professor of computer science at Linköping University.
