Medizinhistorisches Journal - Medicine and the Life Sciences in History will be transferred to Franz Steiner Verlag after the completion of volume 41. Further information will be published soon on www.steiner-verlag.de.

Medizinhistorisches Journal provides an international and well-established forum for research into the history of medicine and health in their scientific, social, political, and cultural contexts. Publishing original, refereed articles, it includes intellectual history of science as well as social history of medicine and gives also space to specialist fields, such as history of dentistry, veterinary medicine, pharmacy and biology.

It further accommodates research reports and essay reviews (but not conventional book reviews). In addition, readers benefit from its international, up-to-date bibliographic sections, which cover new monographs and books, recent contributions to other relevant periodicals, and pertinent articles published elsewhere.
