Journal of Genetics

The Journal of Genetics (not to be confused with another journal called Genetics) is a scientific journal in the field of genetics and evolution.

The Journal of Genetics was founded in 1910 by the British geneticists William Bateson and Reginald Punnett. It was later edited by J.B.S. Haldane, who emigrated to India in 1957, and continued publishing the journal from there. On Haldane's death in 1964, Haldane's second wife Helen Spurway continued to publish the journal with Madhav Gadgil and H. Sharat Chandra and Suresh Jayakar as editors until Spurway died in 1977 and the journal ceased publication. With the permission of Haldane's sister, Naomi Mitchison it later resumed publication and has been published by the Indian Academy of Sciences in Bangalore since 1985.

It is  an open access journal, even though it does not quite meet the definition of the  Budapest Open Access Initiative; it permits free use for academic purposes only, while the definition requires open access for anyone, even commercial users.
