Bell System Technical Journal
The Bell System Technical Journal was the in-house scientific journal of Bell Labs that was published from 1922 to 1983.
[edit] Notable papers
Claude Shannon's paper "A mathematical theory of communication" which founded the field of information theory was published in the Bell System Technical Journal,[1] as were many landmark papers from the developers of Unix that appeared in a themed-issue in 1978.[2]
The journal is also notorious for a November, 1954 article, entitled "In-Band Single-Frequency Signaling"[3] by Weaver and Newell that revealed the internal operation of the long distance switching system in use at that time. This article enabled phone phreaks to develop the blue box apparatus that manipulated the switching system to allow them to make free long-distance calls.
2009 Nobel Prize physicists Willard Boyle and George E. Smith described their new charge-coupled device in the journal in a 1970 paper.[4]
