Annales de chimie et de physique
open-in-new
<p><i>Annales de chimie et de physique</i> is a <a href="/facts/Scientific_journal/A4Slzknw">scientific journal</a> founded in Paris, France, in 1789 under the title <i>Annales de chimie</i>. One of the early editors was the French chemist <a href="/facts/Antoine_Lavoisier/UheVQrhu">Antoine Lavoisier</a>. Lavoisier, an aristocrat, was <a href="/facts/Guillotine/E6SUBNJF">guillotined</a> in May 1794, ostensibly for tax fraud: and the journal was not published from 1794 to 1796 while the <a href="/facts/Reign_of_Terror/5CC1763y">Reign of Terror</a> was at its height under the <a href="/facts/French_Directory/wHeSvJdt">French Directory</a>. </p><p>In 1815, it became the <i>Annales de chimie et de physique</i>, and was published under that name for the next 100 years. </p><p>In 1914, it split into two successor journals. The first one, <i><a href="/facts/Annales_de_physique/o1GP6nfn">Annales de physique</a></i>, was latterly published by <a href="/facts/EDP_Sciences/K5TQ3p32">EDP Sciences</a> under the same name up to 2009, when it became integrated in the <i><a href="/facts/European_Physical_Journal/eTdt6CnN">European Physical Journal</a></i> series as the <i><a href="/facts/European_Physical_Journal_H/o1GP6nfn">European Physical Journal H – Historical Perspectives on Contemporary Physics</a></i>. The second successor, <i>Annales de chimie</i>, later became <i>Annales de chimie: Science des matériaux</i> in 1978; from 1998 to 2004, it was published online by <a href="/facts/Elsevier/jkPSAEmR">Elsevier</a>, and since 2004, it has been managed online by the Éditions Lavoisier [fr] publishing company. Despite the name changes, the volume numbering maintained continuity between the different titles, both for the physics journal and the chemistry journal. </p>
