History
The Scientist was founded by American businessman Eugene Garfield in 1986. Two years later, Garfield sold The Scientist, which is a part of the Institute for Scientific Information, to JPT Publishing.
In 2009, the magazine had a round of layoffs, and its owner, the London-based Science Navigation Group, merged The Scientist with the website Faculty of 1000 for peer review and evaluation of articles in biology and medical journals. The Scientist moved from Philadelphia to New York in 2010.
