This article reviews the relationship between medical journals and publishing societies in eighteenth-century Great Britain. The importance of the perception that these journals were being issued under the auspices of societies is revealed by the number of times this kind of sponsorship was invoked by new medical journals. This kind of endorsement was projected even when a society so designated exercised only a nominal responsibility for the journal and, even when, in some instances, no organization can be said to have existed.
本文回顾了18世纪英国医学期刊与出版协会之间的关系。新的医学期刊提及这种赞助的次数揭示了认为这些期刊是在协会支持下发行的这种认知的重要性。即使某个如此指定的协会对期刊仅承担名义上的责任，甚至在某些情况下根本不存在可被认为存在的组织时，这种认可仍会被宣扬。
