It was originally established as the ''Journal of Polymer Science'' in 1946 by Interscience Publishers and the founding editor Herman F. Mark, but it was split in various parts in 1962. The journal has undergone re-organization several times since. In 2020, the journal will consolidate in one single publication.<ref>{{cite web |title=Journal of Polymer Science |url=https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/26424169 |website=Wiley Online Library |doi=10.1002/(ISSN)2642-4169 |language=en}}</ref> The editor-in-chief is Joseph W Krumpfer.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/page/journal/26424169/homepage/contact |title=Journal of Polymer Science Editorial Team |author=<!--Not stated--> |date= |website=Wiley Online Library |publisher=Wiley |doi=10.1002/(ISSN)2642-4169 |access-date=2022-06-27 |quote=}}</ref>
