Comptes rendus de l'Académie des Sciences, or simply Comptes rendus, is a French scientific journal which has been published since 1835. It is the proceedings of the French Academy of Sciences. It is currently split into seven sections, published by the Academy and Elsevier: Mathematique, Mecanique, Physique, Geoscience, Palevol, Chimie, and Biologies.

[edit] Naming history

The journal has had a complicated naming history, with several name changes and splits over the years.

[edit] 1835-1965

Comptes rendus was initially published as Comptes rendus hebdomadaires des séances de l'Académie des Sciences. It itself continued an earlier series, Mémoires de l'Académie des Sciences, which had been published since 1666.

[edit] 1966-1980

After 1965 this title was split into five sections:

Series A and B were published together in one volume except in 1974.

[edit] 1980-2001

The subject areas of the series were rearranged as follows:

  • Série I (Sciences mathématics) - mathematics
  • Série IIA (Sciences de la Terre et des planètes) - geo- and astrosciences
  • Série IIB - see below
  • Série IIC (Sciences chimiques) - chemistry
  • Série III (Sciences de la Vie) - life sciences
  • Série IV (Physique et Astrophysique) - physics and astrophysics

The physical and chemical sciences series were reshuffled between 1989 and 2000, creating considerable confusion. Series IIB united the physical and chemical sciences (as "Mécanique, Physique, Astrophysique et Chimie") until the July, 1989, issue, with which chemistry was separated in Series IIC. Series IV was created in March, 2000, but for two more months, Series IIB was published as "Mécanique, Physique et Astrophysique". From May 2000 on, Series IIB was renamed "Mécanique" and limited to (applied) mechanics, as opposed to Series IV. Series IIC and IV started with issue number 1, the others continued their issue numbers (which by then had reached the 320s).

[edit] After 2001

The present naming and subject assignment was established from 2002 on:

  • Biologies - life sciences except paleontology and evolutionary biology. Continues in part Series IIC (biochemistry) and III.
  • Chimie - chemistry. Continues in part Series IIC.
  • Geoscience - geosciences. Continues in part Series IIA.
  • Mathematique - mathematics. Continues Series I.
  • Mécanique - mechanics. Continues Series IIB.
  • Palevol - paleontology and evolutionary biology. Continues in part Series IIA and III.
  • Physique - topical issues in physics (mainly optics, astrophysics and particle physics). Continues Series IV.
