History

The journal was established in March 1986 as the official publication of the Society for Research on Biological Rhythms with Benjamin Rusak as first editor-in-chief; he served from 1986 to 1994. The first issue largely focused on zoology and physiology, but over the years the field of discussion has expanded to include neurobiology, cell and molecular biology, photobiology, computational biology, behavioral ecology, and translational medicine.[1] Early research topics included "splitting", circannual rhythmicity, photoperiodic time measurement, and circadian pacemaker development, coupling, and output.[2]

The original publishing company before SAGE Publishing was Guilford Press. In 1997, the frequency of the journal changed from quarterly to bimonthly.[1] In 2001, under editor-in-chief Martin Zatz, the journal began to release a number of special issues and special features.
