Joseph W. Serene, Publisher and Treasurer of APS commented, *We 
are delighted that improved APS publishing operations have 
allowed us to reduce subscription prices for over 80% of our 
subscribers, including all four-year colleges and smaller, less 
research-focused universities, and to keep increases for the 
largest, most research-intensive institutions below anticipated 
inflation, even as our journals continue to grow in size and to 
maintain exceptional editorial and production standards.*

APS is very proud of the quality and value of our nine Journals: 
Physical Review Letters; Physical Reviews A, B, C, D, E, Special 
Topics-Accelerators and Beams, and Special Topics-Physics 
Education Research; Reviews of Modern Physics, and the Physical 
Review Online Archive (PROLA).

About the APS: The American Physical Society is the world's 
largest professional body of physicists, representing over 46,000 
physicists in academia and industry in the US and 
internationally. It has offices in Ridge, NY; Washington, DC; and 
College Park, MD.
