Inspec Powers AIP Scitation® AlertsFor immediate release London, UK, December 2, 2003 - The American Institute of Physics (AIP) and The IEE (The Institution of Electrical Engineers) today announced a partnership to provide Scitation® Alerts powered by Inspec. The service is a current awareness tool for individual researchers and will be available in April 2004. Scientists may subscribe to alerts from 100 physics-related subject areas. They will receive weekly email updates of new research published that week in the Inspec database. Individuals may also subscribe to custom alerts based on their own search criteria. Martin Smith, Publishing Director and General Manager of Inspec, commented, The IEE is delighted to be working with respected scholarly publisher AIP to provide engineers and physicists with research updates designed to meet their needs. The comprehensive Inspec database and our existing alert engine will greatly enhance their ability to track developments in their fields. This agreement marks the latest step in AIPs close relationship with The IEE and Inspec, the leading bibliographic resource for physics, computing, and electronics, said Tim Ingoldsby, AIP Director of Business Development. It allows us to meet our scientists requests for timely, relevant profile-based alerts. Scitation Alerts will also provide an important centerpiece to the new personalization suite offered by the Scitation online hosting platform, added Frank Perugini, AIP Director of Online Services. AIPs classification experts have reviewed the Inspec taxonomy and have identified a number of physics-related sub-disciplines that will be added to the alert categories already available through Inspec Alerts. Members of AIP member and affiliated societies will receive a discount.
