Chinese Journal of Chemical Physics Selects AIP

Publishing partnership to begin in 2012

Melville, NY, April 19, 2011 – AIP Publishing, a division of the
American Institute of Physics (AIP) (aip.org), is pleased to announce
that it has signed a new partnership agreement with Chinese Journal of
Chemical Physics (CJCP). Beginning in 2012, AIP will manage hosting,
sales, marketing, and distribution of CJCP for all international markets
outside China. CJCP will maintain editorial control of the journal and
distribution in China.

AIP will begin hosting CJCP on its Scitation platform in January 2012.
AIP sees CJCP as an ideal complement to its own highly cited
publication, The Journal of Chemical Physics.

“We are very pleased to collaborate with the American Institute of
Physics, a pioneer in online publishing, which drives innovation through
continuing investment in emerging technologies and R&D,” said Prof.
Xueming Yang, Editor-in-Chief of Chinese Journal of Chemical Physics.
“AIP's involvement will help our publication to enjoy a higher degree of
discoverability and to improve our journal’s quality and prestige.”

Launched in 1988, and supported by both the Dalian Institute of Chemical
Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences and the University of Science and
Technology of China, Hefei, CJCP reports on new and original
experimental and theoretical research, bridging atomic- and
molecular-level investigations in material science, chemistry, physics,
the life sciences, and related fields. The journal comprises letters,
articles and reviews. CJCP is one of 24 journals published by the
Chinese Physical Society and is indexed in Thomson Reuters’ Science
Citation Index Expanded, as well as in other major indexes.

“There’s so much excellent research being published in the Chinese
Journal of Chemical Physics right now, and our goal is to greatly
increase the visibility of this work and to disseminate it as rapidly
and as widely as possible,” says Robert Harington, Publisher, AIP
Partnerships. “We are confident that by leveraging the great
functionality of our Scitation platform, we’ll be able to accomplish
these goals.”

society publishers. AIP also provides the international physical science
community with UniPHY, the first literature-based social and
professional networking site; it features pre-populated profiles of more
than 300,000 scientists and enables collaboration among researchers
worldwide.

Subject: Project MUSE News: Over Fifty Publishers Contracted for UPCC
eBook Collections
From: "Melanie Schaffner" <melanie@muse.jhu.edu>

Over Fifty Publishers Contracted to Participate in UPCC eBook Collections
on Project MUSE

Project MUSE is pleased to announce that 51 distinguished scholarly
publishers have signed contracts to participate in the forthcoming UPCC
eBook Collections, to be offered on the MUSE platform beginning January 1,
2012. UPCC (University Press Content Consortium) collections will offer
top quality book-length scholarship, fully integrated with MUSE’s
full-text scholarly journal content, with library-friendly access and
usage terms and affordable tiered pricing.

Among the new publishers joining the initiative are Pennsylvania State
University Press, Georgetown University Press, Northwestern University
Press, Cork University Press, Hong Kong University Press, University of
Texas Press, Vanderbilt University Press, University of Arizona Press,
Southern Illinois University Press, and Wilfrid Laurier University Press.
The newly confirmed participants bring strengths in indigenous studies,
comparative literature, Latin American studies, theater, Irish studies,
and Jewish studies, among others, and will supplement anticipated content
depth in areas such as literary criticism, policy studies, religion,
gender studies, bioethics, and history of medicine and technology.

UPCC eBook Collections will be offered for purchase, with perpetual access
rights and unlimited usage, downloading, and printing. Book content will
be in PDF format, searchable and retrievable to the chapter level. By late
summer 2011, MUSE will unveil a beta version of a new search interface
encompassing both journal and book content, with sophisticated post-search
filtering options, running on a parallel platform featuring free sample
book content for libraries and users to explore. Pricing and purchase
details for the book collections to be released in January will be
available no later than October 1.

"Watching the list of participating presses expand, and fielding the
enthusiastic inquiries from our library customers, provide confirmation
that the MUSE/UPCC model effectively balances the needs of publishers and
libraries for sustainable institutional access to scholarly e-books," said
Dean Smith, Director, Project MUSE. "With over fifty publishers confirmed,
and more than ten others in the final stages of the contract process, we
expect to offer the most comprehensive and diverse collection of books
spanning the humanities, the social sciences, and the sciences."

eBook Collections on Project MUSE follows. Presses new to the list are
