Please pardon the duplication.] Dear Colleagues: The American Institute of Physics is pleased to announce 2010 institutional subscription rates. As a prestigious learned society publisher, AIP has always provided the physics community with world-class content, and one of the hallmarks of the AIP Journal brand is outstanding value. For many years, we have worked with the library community to maintain low prices and low annual price increases. As a result, AIP’s price-to-content value is among the very best in STM publishing. At the same time, AIP journals (listed below) continue to be increasingly popular with authors and readers worldwide as measured by the total number of articles submitted and published each year, and the millions of article downloads we report yearly. Applied Physics Letters APL: Organic Electronics and Photonics Applied Physics Reviews Chaos Computing in Science & Engineering (co-published with IEEE Computer Society) Journal of Applied Physics The Journal of Chemical Physics JCP: BioChemical Physics Journal of Physical & Chemical Reference Data (co-published with NIST) Journal of Mathematical Physics Low Temperature Physics Physics of Fluids Physics of Plasmas Physics Today Review of Scientific Instruments AIP Conference Proceedings Developments for 2010 Journal of Renewable and Sustainable Energy: Launched in 2009; Remains Free in 2010 Journal of Renewable and Sustainable Energy is a new multi-disciplinary e-only journal drawing from a diverse range of fields such as geothermal energy, bioenergy, solar and wind power, energy storage, and transportation. Peer-reviewed articles cover the science, rather than the policy, behind these emerging energy sources. Access to JRSE remains free in 2010. Biomicrofluidics Remains Free in 2010 Biomicrofluidics, which originally launched as an open-access journal in 2007, rapidly disseminates novel microfluidic techniques with diagnostic, medical, biological, pharmaceutical, environmental, and chemical applications. With the elimination of open access fees, access to Biomicrofluidics will now be completely free in 2010. APL: Organic Electronics and Photonics Remains Free in 2010 Our newest spotlight journal, APL: Organic Electronics and Photonics, remains free in 2010. APL:OEP includes the subset of articles from Applied Physics Letters that directly deal with organic electronics and photonics. Content is published online daily, collected into monthly e-only issues. AIP Conference Proceedings Moves to Tiered Pricing Schedule To make the AIP Conference Proceedings more affordable to a larger number of institutions, we will move to a tiered pricing schedule in 2010. The rates that most institutions pay will actually decrease. Tier assignments will be the same as they are for AIP journal subscriptions. Low Temperature Physics Moves to Tiered Pricing Schedule Low Temperature Physics, the English translation of the journal, Fizika Nizikh, also moves to a tiered pricing scheduled in 2010. Physics Today Digital Archive AIP now offers a one-time payment option for perpetual access to the recently digitized backfile of Physics Today. The Physics Today Digital Archive provides permanent access to Physics Today content older than five years back to the first issue published in 1948. This complements our existing Digital Archive for AIP journal content, also available via a perpetual access option. AIP Maintains Tier Assignments for 2010 In 2010, we will hold AIP tier assignments steady, once again allowing libraries to maintain their current tier assignment. If you have questions regarding your institution’s AIP tier, please contact us. If you have a question regarding these new options, or about our 2010 prices, please contact subs@aip.org or call 1-800-344-6902. For more on the value of AIP’s journals, go to: http://librarians.aip.org/value_pricing.html. To view 2010 prices for AIP’s publications, please go to: http://librarians.aip.org. We look forward to serving you in the new subscription year.

The Kyoto Journal of Mathematics publishes original research papers at the forefront of pure mathematics, including surveys that contribute to advances in pure mathematics. The quarterly journal will be hosted on the Project Euclid platform and included in the Euclid Prime collection. Since its inception in 1950, the Nagoya Mathematical Journal has published high-quality research papers that appeal to the general mathematical audience and that cover a broad range of pure mathematics. The journal will continue to be hosted on the Project Euclid platform and in 2010 will move from an open-access to a subscription model in order to maintain sustainable funding. All content published before 2010 will remain freely available on the Project Euclid platform. The paid content will become freely available after five-years. For information about the Kyoto Journal of Mathematics and the Nagoya Mathematical Journal, please contact Journals Customer Service at subscriptions@dukeupress.edu, or visit http://dukeupress.edu/library. -- Kimberly Steinle Library Relations Manager Duke University Press 905 W.

Hodder Arnold published Pain Reviews online from 1998 to 2002. In 2006, Hodder ended its journal program and sold its list to SAGE Publications, except for Pain Reviews. The title had already been discontinued and, at the time, there were no options for moving it into a managed digital preservation service. Now, seven years later, Hodder has given Portico the right to preserve the title and to provide access to its nearly 500 participating libraries around the world. “This is an important development for libraries and scholars,” commented Eileen Fenton, Portico’s Executive Director. “There is volatility in the publishing market. Publications come and go, and titles that become orphaned over time need the kind of permanent preservation and care that Portico routinely provides for electronic scholarly literature. Our ability to ensure libraries will not lose access to content in the future provides all concerned —publishers, libraries and scholars—with the support necessary to transition securely to reliance on e-resources.” Portico has secured the original digital files from IngentaConnect (a Publishing Technology service), Hodder’s former technology provider, and has migrated them to an archival format, deposited the files into the archive, and is managing their preservation including migrating the content to new formats over time. The content will be removed from the Ingenta website. It has already been pushed out to the Portico delivery site for access by users at Portico participating institutions. “This is an important step forward in the academic publishing industry’s shift to e-resources,” said Louise Tutton, Senior Vice President, Publishing Technology. “Very few publishers want to continue to spend money supporting titles that no longer deliver economic value or to invest in technology format upgrades for them, and titles cease publication every year. Shifting responsibility for these publications to entities like Portico so that libraries and scholars can be assured of long-term access makes good sense.” About Portico Portico, a not-for-profit archive, preserves scholarly literature published in electronic form and ensures that these materials remain accessible to future scholars, researchers, and students. More than 10,000 e-journals and 6,400 e-books have been promised to the Portico archive which is supported by nearly 500 libraries worldwide and 71 publishers representing over 2000 scholarly societies and associations. Portico is a part of Ithaka, a not-for-profit organization helping the academic community use digital technologies to preserve the scholarly record and to advance research and teaching in sustainable ways.
