Comment on Two Agriculture Journals Share the Same Title by deillevid

The full history of the (British) Journal of Optics is a bit more complicated than that. It was already called Journal of Optics between 1977-1998, then merged with another journal to become Journal of Optics A: Pure and Applied Optics and it indeed took back its former name in 2010.
Still the Journal of Optics published by the Optical Society of India was created first and its name never changed.
