Please note that all prices are subject to change.

There are also several new offerings and important developments we'd like to
alert you to.


Physics Today Offers Online Access to Institutions

Physics Today subscribers will have the option to access an 
online backfile with their 2007 subscription for an additional 
US$200 fee. Institutional subscribers who choose this option will 
have access from 2001 to all but the most recent 12 months of the 
magazine; current contents remain a benefit to member 
subscribers. The PT backfile is included in the AIP Archival and 
AIP Archival Plus combination subscriptions; the backfile is also 
available as a separate online-only subscription. AIP plans to 
digitize all issues back to the magazine's launch in 1948, 
eventually creating a complete Physics Today digital archive.

AIP to Launch First Open Access Journal by January 2007

AIP introduces Biomicrofluidics, the first title in its new 
series, AIP Access X-Press. This will be a series of Open Access, 
online-only journals, featuring rapid publication times.

Two AIP Journals Offer Selected Content in Separate Formats

Beginning in January 2007, JCP: Biochemical Physics will provide, 
in an online-only format, all articles from the Journal of 
Chemical Physics (JCP) that focus on biochemical-related topics. 
Applied Physics Reviews, long a distinct section within Journal 
of Applied Physics (JAP), will also have separate online-only 
distribution in 2007. (Subscribers to JCP and JAP will continue 
to receive all this content with their regular subscriptions.) 
Applied Physics Reviews includes a backfile of review articles 
back to 1980.

New Topical Collections Available from AIP Conference Proceedings

Previously available only as print standing orders, the topical 
subseries within the AIP Conference Proceedings program will now 
be available as separate online-only subscriptions. Subseries 
include Accelerators and Beams; Astronomy & Astrophysics; Atomic, 
Molecular, and Optical Physics; Nuclear & High Energy Physics, 
Mathematical and Statistical Physics; Plasma Physics; and 
Materials Physics & Applications. Each series includes all 
published content from 2000 to the present.

AIP Revises Tiered Pricing System

In 2007, AIP will move to a six-tier pricing system, in part to 
reduce the large price differences between the highest tiers in 
the current system. Some accounts from Tier 4 will be moved to 
the new Tier 5, while all accounts previously in Tier 5 will be 
relabeled as the new Tier 6. Librarians at affected institutions 
will be notified directly.

Backfile Enhancements

Reference links are being added to the backfiles of AIP archival 
journals. In 2007, all abstracts back to 1991 will include these 
links to cited articles.

If you have a question regarding your institution's AIP tier 
assignment, or about the prices posted, please contact 
subs@aip.org or call 1-800-344-6902.

We look forward to serving you in the new subscription year.
