IEEE Joins Virtual Journals in Science and TechnologyFor immediate release London, UK, December 1, 2003 - Journals published by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) will soon join the Virtual Journals in Science and Technology (VJ), sponsored by the American Institute of Physics (AIP) and the American Physical Society (APS), the three societies announced today. Articles and abstracts from the IEEE’s 120 journals will appear in the VJs in early 2004. Participating in the Virtual Journals supports the IEEEs mission, which is to promote knowledge, said Anthony Durniak, IEEE Staff Executive of Publications. The Virtual Journals have become an essential cross-publisher research tool, and we are delighted that our inclusion can contribute to the advancement of science. Marc H. Brodsky, AIP Executive Director and VJ Series Co-Editor noted, As a sister society, the IEEE brings a wealth of authoritative content and a reputation of excellence to the program. We are very pleased they have joined in this significant collaboration. Our editors ability to choose from the extensive library of high quality IEEE articles will extend the VJs appeal to engineers and computer scientists, concurred APS Editor-in-Chief and VJ Series Co-Editor Martin Blume. Virtual Journals are online publications that collect relevant papers from a broad range of science journals. The series currently includes five VJs including nanoscale science, biological physics, quantum information, superconductivity, and ultrafast science. The Virtual Journals will now contain the most significant articles from the latest issues of more than 170 participating source journals, including Science and Nature. The American Physical Society is a not-for-profit corporation dedicated to the advancement and diffusion of the knowledge of physics. APS represents more than 42,000 physicists worldwide and is a leader in the creation of e-journals. It publishes leading international physics journals, organizes major scientific meetings, and provides strong outreach programs in education and international and public affairs. The American Institute of Physics is a not-for-profit corporation chartered in 1931 to provide publishing and distribution services for scientific and technical societies. In addition to the Virtual Journals series, its online publishing platform, Scitation®, currently hosts e-journals of many learned society publishers, as well as AIP's own journals and conference proceedings. The IEEE is the world's largest technical professional society with more than 380,000 members in approximately 150 countries. Through its members, the IEEE is a leading authority on areas ranging from aerospace, computers and telecommunications to biomedicine, electric power and consumer electronics. The IEEE produces 30 percent of the world's literature in the electrical and electronics engineering and computer science fields, and has developed more than 900 active industry standards. The organization also sponsors or cosponsors more than 300 international technical conferences each year. For additional information, contact: For background information, please see: |
