Sentence: the journal has been started in 1999. #1 (permalink) Tue Apr 06, 2010 16:59 pm   Sentence: the journal has been started in 1999.		  
Is this correct sentence: The journal has been started in 1999.
Or
Sentence: the journal was started in 1999.

I believe the second one is the correct one.

Thanks,
Suresh

Since you mention exact time (1999), the second is correct. The first would be correct without mentioning time: "The journal has been started".
