Number 184 (Story #4), June 21, 1994 by Phillip F. Schewe and Ben Stein
TWO PHYSICS JOURNALS WILL BE AVAILABLE ONLINE via Internet in 1995. Applied Physics Letters (APL), published by the American Institute of Physics, plans to start its online service in January 1995. Physical Review Letters (PRL), published by The American Physical Society, should be available by mid year. Users of the online version of APL will be able to make "hypertext" jumps. That is, a reader can position her cursor at a particular item in the references, say, and with a single click can call up additional information (such as an abstract) concerning that article. Also, a year's worth of back issues will be available on CD-ROM. (Physics Today, June 1994.)
