[Two editors in dialog. The example of Justus von Liebig (1803-1873) and Johann Bartholomäus Trommsdorff (1770-1837) and their letters].
Today, scientists willing to publish results face a wide range of requirements (instructions for authors, peer review procedure). During the 18th and 19th century manuscripts were treated in a less formal way. However, the scientific discussion was vital and implemented intensely via various means, especially by letters. This study analyses the dialog of two distinguished contributors to chemical and pharmaceutical sciences, both experienced journal editors, from January 1828 to February 1837.
