It was established in 1967 and is published by Elsevier.

History

Social Science & Medicine (ISSN 0037-7856) was published quarterly from 1967 to 1977 by Pergamon Press and was then split into:[1][2]

  • Social Science & Medicine. Part A: Medical Psychology & Medical Sociology (ISSN 0271-7123)
  • Social Science & Medicine. Part B: Medical Anthropology (ISSN 0160-7987)

  • Social Science & Medicine. Part E: Medical Psychology (ISSN 0271-5384)
  • Social Science & Medicine. Part F: Medical & Social Ethics (ISSN 0271-5392)

In 1982, Parts A-F were merged back into one journal. It was published by Pergamon Press, until that company was acquired by Elsevier in 1992.
