History

The first volume of the journal was published in 1950 by the nonprofit publishing company Annual Reviews. It noted that the more "active" areas of medicine would be covered in each volume, while other subdisciplines would be covered every two or three years. Its first editor was Windsor C. Cutting. In 1996, it was one of the first Annual Reviews journals to be published electronically.

Editors of volumes

Dates indicate publication years in which someone was credited as a lead editor or co-editor of a journal volume. The planning process for a volume begins well before the volume appears, so appointment to the position of lead editor generally occurred prior to the first year shown here. An editor who has retired or died may be credited as a lead editor of a volume that they helped to plan, even if it is published after their retirement or death. * Windsor C.
