F. H. A. MARSHALL
It was intended to recognize the 70th birthday of one of our most distinguished biologists, Dr F. H. A. Marshall, by dedicating Volume 6 of the Journal of Endocrinology in his honour. Unfortunately, this plan to mark a happy occasion was forestalled by his death, which occurred suddenly on 5 February 1949.
Recent developments, by their nearness, have tended to overshadow the pioneer work in which Marshall played so important a part, and it is with appreciation that the writer recalls, for a new generation of biologists, the achievements of his friend and one-time tutor.
Marshall's name is associated, mainly or even exclusively, with the study of the physiology of reproduction in its many branches. He was preceded in this field by another pioneer, Walter Heape, who was completing his classic studies of the primate uterus and collecting material for his analysis of the oestrous cycle
Journal of Endocrinology is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.
The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
