Research Unix are early versions of the Unix operating system for DEC PDP-7 , PDP-11 , VAX and Interdata 7/32 and 8/32 computers, developed in the Bell Labs Computing Sciences Research Center (CSRC).

16-493: The term Research Unix first appeared in the Bell System Technical Journal (Vol. 57, No. 6, Part 2 July/August 1978) to distinguish it from other versions internal to Bell Labs (such as PWB/UNIX and MERT ) whose code-base had diverged from the primary CSRC version. However, that term was little-used until Version 8 Unix , but has been retroactively applied to earlier versions as well. Prior to V8,

32-431: A bit more BSD-flavored than SysVish, but it was pretty eclectic. In 2002, Caldera International released Unix V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, V6 , V7 on PDP-11 and Unix 32V on VAX as FOSS under a permissive BSD-like software license . In 2017, Unix Heritage Society and Alcatel-Lucent USA Inc., on behalf of itself and Nokia Bell Laboratories , released V8, V9, and V10 under the condition that only non-commercial use

48-597: Is an annual publication by Clarivate . It has been integrated with the Web of Science and is accessed from the Web of Science Core Collection . It provides information about academic journals in the natural and social sciences , including impact factors . JCR was originally published as a part of the Science Citation Index . Currently, the JCR , as a distinct service, is based on citations compiled from

64-714: The Science Citation Index Expanded and the Social Sciences Citation Index . As of the 2023 edition, journals from the Arts and Humanities Citation Index and the Emerging Sources Citation Index have also been included. The information given for each journal includes: There are separate editions for the sciences and the social sciences; the 2013 science edition includes 8,411 journals, and

80-595: The manual that describes them, because early versions and the last few were never officially released outside of Bell Labs, and grew organically. So, the first Research Unix would be the First Edition, and the last the Tenth Edition. Another common way of referring to them is as "Version x Unix" or "V x Unix", where x is the manual edition. All modern editions of Unix—excepting Unix-like implementations such as Coherent , Minix , and Linux —derive from

96-641: The 2012 social science edition contains 3,016 titles. The issue for each year is published the following year after the citations for the year have been published and the information processed. The publication is available online ( JCR on the Web ), or in CD format ( JCR on CD-ROM ); it was originally published in print, with the detailed tables on microfiche . In general, various universities, administrative centers and ministries in charge of higher education make their evaluations of university professors and other researchers on

112-568: The 7th Edition. Starting with the 8th Edition, versions of Research Unix had a close relationship to BSD . This began by using 4.1cBSD as the basis for the 8th Edition. In a Usenet post from 2000, Dennis Ritchie described these later versions of Research Unix as being closer to BSD than they were to UNIX System V , which also included some BSD code: Research Unix 8th Edition started from (I think) BSD 4.1c, but with enormous amounts scooped out and replaced by our own stuff. This continued with 9th and 10th. The ordinary user command-set was, I guess,

128-654: The Associated Companies of the Bell System. The first issue was released in July 1922, under the editorship of R. W. King and an eight-member editorial board. Its mission was to fill the desire for a technical journal to "collect, print, reprint, and make readily the more important articles" for the electrical communication engineer in a broad array of related disciplines, that were previously scattered in numerous other industry publications. From 1922 to 1951,

144-512: The following former editors: The following abstracting and indexing services cover the journal: According to the Journal Citation Reports , the journal has a 2020 impact factor of 0.333. The Bell System Technical Journal and its successors published many papers on seminal works and revolutionary achievements at Bell Labs, including the following: Journal Citation Reports Journal Citation Reports ( JCR )

160-604: The number and quality of articles published in journals indexed in the JCR. In recent years, it has often been released in mid-June. The 2017 Journal Citation Reports , based on 2016 data, was released on June 14, 2017. In April 2020, Journal Citation Reports included a beta for open access data, which uses Unpaywall data. It officially left the beta phase with the release of the 2020 JCR in June 2020. The impact factor (IF) or journal impact factor (JIF) of an academic journal

176-476: The operating system was most commonly called simply UNIX (in caps) or the UNIX Time-Sharing System. AT&T licensed Version 5 to educational institutions, and Version 6 also to commercial sites. Schools paid $ 200 and others $ 20,000, discouraging most commercial use, but Version 6 was the most widely used version into the 1980s. Research Unix versions are often referred to by the edition of

192-544: The publication schedule was quarterly. It was bimonthly until 1964, and finally produced ten monthly issues per year until the end of 1983, combining the four summer months into two issues in May and July. Publication of the journal under the name Bell System Technical Journal ended with Volume 62 by the end of 1983, because of the divestiture of AT&T. Under new organization, publication continued as AT&T Bell Laboratories Technical Journal in 1984 with Volume 63, maintaining

208-456: The volume sequence numbers established since 1922. In 1985, Bell Laboratories was removed from the title, resulting in AT&;T Technical Journal until 1995 (Volume 74). In 1996, the journal was revamped under the name Bell Labs Technical Journal , and publication management was transferred to Wiley Periodicals, Inc., establishing a new volume sequence (Volume 1). The journal was directed by

224-695: Was allowed, and that they would not assert copyright claims against such use. Bell System Technical Journal The Bell Labs Technical Journal was the in-house scientific journal for scientists of Bell Labs , published yearly by the IEEE society. The journal was originally established as the Bell System Technical Journal (BSTJ) in New York by the American Telephone and Telegraph Company (AT&T) in 1922. It

240-399: Was published under this name until 1983, when the breakup of the Bell System placed various parts of the companies in the system into independent corporate entities. The journal was devoted to the scientific fields and engineering disciplines practiced in the Bell System for improvements in the wide field of electrical communication . After the restructuring of Bell Labs in 1984, the journal

256-499: Was renamed to AT&T Bell Laboratories Technical Journal . In 1985, it was published as the AT&T Technical Journal until 1996, when it was renamed to Bell Labs Technical Journal . The journal was discontinued in 2020. The last managing editor was Charles Bahr. The Bell System Technical Journal was published by AT&T in New York City through its Information Department, on behalf of Western Electric Company and
