As the longest-running scientific journal in the world, having been founded in 1665 by Henry Oldenburg, Philosophical Transactions A is now moving into its 382nd Volume. Although a lot has changed in academic publishing since Phil Trans A started publishing theme issues in the 1990s, the journal continues to publish high-quality issues guest edited by leading scientists across the physical sciences. In this blog, we look back on the top papers and theme issues published in 2023.

Following the publication of the latest Philosophical Transactions A theme issue, ‘Reliability and reproducibility in computational science: implementing verification, validation and uncertainty quantification in silico’, Dr Roger Highfield, Science Director of the Science Museum Group and contributing author to the issue, explores the question, ‘should we trust computers?’.

The latest issue of Philosophical Transactions A looks at the emerging field of heterotic computing.
