Endeavour, a quarterly
peer-reviewed academic journal began as a scientific review publication published by
Imperial Chemical Industries, releasing its first issue in
January 1942. It began as a scientific review journal published by the
public relations department of Imperial Chemical Industries, with
support from the British government.
The
publication of the journal Endeavour gave a voice to scientists that they previously did not have, and put their ideas into the public domain. The importance of scientists to winning the war was very clear at this stage, and explains why Churchill worked to ensure that they would remain as key advisors to the government on wartime issues.
It was initially published in English, French, German, and Spanish editions. It later added an Italian edition. Through the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s, the journal was distributed to scientists and academic libraries around Europe in an effort to promote scientific internationalism. I has evolved into a scholarly journal covering the fields of history and philosophy of science, technology, and medicine.
