HISTORY OF THE PSYCHONOMIC-SOCIETY .2. THE JOURNAL PUBLISHING PROGRAM

The possibility of a Psychonomic Society journal publishing program da tes back to the very founding of the Society in 1959. The program was initiated by Clifford T. Morgan on his own, however, with the publicat ion of Psychonomic Science in 1964, followed by Psychonomic Monograph Supplements and Perception & Psychophysics within the next 2 years. In 1967, Morgan gave the journals to the Psychonomic Society, which has controlled them ever since. The structure of the journal program and t he means of producing the journals have evolved since then, so that to day the Psychonomic Society publishes six prominent journals in experi mental psychology, all of them produced in-house.
