History

The '' Zeitschrift für Naturforschung'' (English: ''Journal for Nature Research'') was established in 1946 and split into two parts ( A and B) in 1947. Part C was established in 1973, removing coverage of the biosciences from part B. Since its establishment, the titles used for Part C have been: * ''Zeitschrift für Naturforschung. Teil C, Biochemie, Biophysik, Biologie, Virologie'' (, 1973) * ''Zeitschrift für Naturforschung. Section C, Biosciences'' (, 1974–1983) * ''Zeitschrift für Naturforschung. Section C, A European Journal of Biosciences'' (, 1984–1985) * ''Zeitschrift für Naturforschung. C, A Journal of Biosciences'' (, 1986–present)
