  2. Who We Are • American Institute of Physics, founded in 1931, is a not-for-profit federation of 10 scientific societies. • AIP publishes 11 journals and Physics Today magazine. • AIP provides many services to scientists, scientific societies, students, and the public through its Physics Resource Center, including the Niels Bohr Library. • AIP operates the Scitation online hosting platform. Based in New York. • An important AIP Member Society isAmerican Physical Society, the world’s largest physics society, with 45k members. Founded in 1899, APS publishes 10 journals. • AIP and APS journals are often the “core” collection for institutions that grant physics degrees.

  3. Why Libraries Care • AIP and APS have 8 of the top 10 highest cited journals in the ISI “All Physics” category. AIP and APS also have 5 of the top 10 physics journals ranked by annual output. (Applied Physics Letters is #1 of 6,164 journals.)

  4. The Growth of the “Scitation Collection” • AIP’s consortia-sales effort began with AIP and APS journals. • But libraries often want content from other Society publishers hosted on Scitation. • Most of the Societies are too small to handle the negotiation and administration of consortia arrangements. • So AIP has extended its “service” role to consortia-sales for many of these Societies.

  5. American Physical Society (APS) Optical Society of America (OSA) ASME International ASTM Digital Library Electrochemical Society (ECS) Acoustical Society of America (ASA) AVS: Science & Technology Society of Rheology (SOR) American Assoc. of Physics Teachers (AAPT) American Assoc. of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) Institute of Noise Control Engineers (INCE) Internat’l Centre for Diffraction Data (ICDD) Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) Laser Institute of America (LIA) AIP now represents many prestigious not-for-profit publishers for consortia sales:

  6. “15 publishers, 75 publications . . . 1 license agreement” • We are not a “package” – customers can license individual publishers and individual titles. (There is no “Big Deal.”) • We accommodate some different business rules for different publishers (unlike, Project MUSE or BioOne, for example). • Publishers may have different rules with respect to backfiles, tier pricing, etc. • But we offer consortia one negotiation, one license, one invoice, one renewal – one “voice”

  7. Who uses “the world’s most important collection of physical science journals”? Physicists in all disciplines, chemists, chemical engineers, materials scientists, electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, nanotechnologists, biologists, crystallographers, optical scientists & engineers, physics teachers, medical technicians, geophysicists, and others.

  8. The choice of many academic consortia around the world • CALIS (China) • KESLI (Korea) • National Science Council (Taiwan) • CAUL (Australia) • INFLIBNET (India) • ANKOS (Turkey) • HEAL Link (Greece) • DFG & Max Planck Institutes (Germany) • COUPERIN (France) • B-on (Portugal) • NESLi2 (United Kingdom) • OCUL (Canada) • CAPES (Brazil) • SECTIP (Argentina) • NEICON (Russia) • Plus: Denmark, Sweden, Spain, Poland, Ukraine, & more!

  9. Some details • Usage data compliant with COUNTER Level 2 • Open URL compliant (begins October 1) • Deeply discounted print copies • Archive copies provided • Performance guarantees: access via mirror sites if Scitation goes down
