Melville, NY, February 11, 2011—The American Institute of Physics (AIP) (aip.org) is pleased to announce that the Chinese Society of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (CSTAM) has appointed AIP as the publisher of its newest journal—Theoretical and Applied Mechanics Letters (taml.aip.org). Published on behalf of CSTAM and hosted on AIP’s Scitation platform, TAML will be an essential source of groundbreaking research in mechanics for scientists and engineers worldwide.
"Science is clearly a global enterprise and collaboration with CSTAM on the publication of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics Letters will significantly enhance and expand communication and dissemination of this important research," said Robert Harington, Publisher, AIP Partnerships.
TAML will contain short, original articles in all areas of theoretical and applied mechanics, as well as in engineering-related fields, including:
- Aerospace and aeronautical engineering
- Coastal and ocean engineering
- Environment and energy engineering
- Biomedical engineering
- Mechanical and transportation engineering
- Civil and hydraulic engineering
Two of the most respected scientists in the field of mechanics serve as co-editors: Prof. Jiachun Li, Chinese Academy of Sciences and Prof. Yonggang Huang, Northwestern University. Commenting on the launch of TAML, Prof. Li stated, “Collaborating with AIP on a journal in the physical sciences lends instant credibility to our publication. In addition, hosting TAML on AIP’s Scitation online platform greatly expands the visibility and global reach of the journal, and helps researchers to leverage a wide range of valuable discoverability features.”
Institutional access to TAML is available on AIP’s Scitation platform via free trial subscription throughout 2011.
