According to the Society's website, "the main criterion for election as a Fellow is scientific excellence."

The current Fellowship is composed of about 1600 "of the most distinguished scientists from the United Kingdom, other Commonwealth countries and the Republic of Ireland." According to the Society's archives there have been approximately 8,500 Fellows of the society since its foundation in 1660. The Society maintains lists of current Fellows , of past and current Fellows and, among other resources, the Sackler Archive Resource.
