New Publications and Other Changes for 2009

New Developments at AIP

Journal of Renewable and Sustainable Energy: New Title Free in 2009 — This new online journal will present research from such diverse fields as geothermal energy, bioenergy, solar and wind power, energy storage, and transportation. Peer-reviewed articles are geared more toward the science than the policy. Access to JRSE will be free in 2009, and by subscription in 2010.

Physics Today: Access Current Content and the Complete Backfile — All PT subscribers now have access to the most current online issues. In addition, all 2008 print+online and online-only subscribers will be automatically renewed to a subscription that includes the complete online archive back to 1948. Subscriptions with only a five-year backfile are also available. The full 60-year backfile is included in the AIP Select and AIP Complete packages, as well.

AIP Conference Proceedings Extend Backfile to Volume 1 — In 2009, all subscribers to AIP Conference Proceedings will have access to the complete archive back to Volume 1 (1970) — more than 70,000 articles from more than 1,000 volumes. Further, the subscription prices for 2009 remain unchanged from 2008.

APL: Organic Electronics and Photonics: A New AIP Spotlight Publication — APL: OEP (apl-oep.aip.org) breaks out content from Applied Physics Letters, and mirrors APL’s newly established topical section of the same name. APL: OEP is available as a separate online-only subscription in 2009.

AIP Maintains Tier Assignments for the 2nd Year — In 2009, AIP journal customers will maintain their current tier assignment, except for a few unusual cases. If you have questions regarding your institution’s AIP tier, please contact us.

AIP to Distribute Physics Essays and GSA Journals — In 2009, AIP will distribute Physics Essays and publications of the Geological Society of America. These include Geological Society of America Bulletin, Geology, Geosphere, and a new journal, Lithosphere.

SEG Digital Library offers EEGS Publications

The Society of Exploration Geophysicists has expanded the SEG Digital Library to include the publications of the Environmental and Engineering Geophysical Society. EEGS publications — the Journal of Environmental and Engineering Geophysics and the Symposium on the Application of Geophysics to Engineering and Environmental Problems — are available as the EEGS Research Collection (segdl.org/eegsrc).

ECS Moves to Tiered Pricing

In 2009, the Electrochemical Society offers tiered pricing for their journals.

New Publisher for AAS Journals

IOP will publish journals of the American Astronomical Society beginning January 2009. This includes The Astrophysical Journal, The Astrophysical Journal Letters and The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series. NOTE: The Astrophysical Journal Letters is now an electronic journal.
