Dear Valued Customer,Welcome to the 2015 AIP Publishing Product Guide.

AIP Publishing takes great pride in the close partnership we actively foster with the library community, supporting the curation and dissemination of world-class journal content to physicists and the wider physical sciences community.

Imbuing our publishing portfolio with value, predictability, and flexibility is among our highest priorities. We continue to offer options designed to suit the needs of libraries of varying sizes and research intensity. This includes right-sized Tier Pricing, AIP Complete and AIP Select package offerings, three-year price protection agreements, and affordable options to lease or purchase our extensive, seminal backfile collection, the AIP Digital Archives.

With the successful launch of the new Scitation platform in 2013, we are able to provide enhanced discoverability of and access to our digital content, supported by a powerful semantic capability and the robust 7,500-term AIP Thesaurus.

As a steadfast advocate of enhancing access, AIP Publishing is expending considerable effort to grow our program pragmatically with various journal models. We are now publishing three Gold Open Access titles, AIP Advances, APL Materials, and Structural Dynamics, the latter in partnership with the American Crystallographic Association.

Focusing on the needs of researchers, in 2014 we launched Applied Physics Reviews independently of its parent journal, the Journal of Applied Physics. Because of the success and popularity of the Journal of Applied Physics reviews, widely considered the “gold standard in the field,” and responding to the recent rapid growth in applied physics research, Applied Physics Reviews is now able to offer a larger selection of the high-quality, cutting-edge reviews that its audience has come to expect and value.

In conclusion, I would like to extend a sincere “thank you” for your ongoing support, which continues to help us fulfill our mission of inspiring and informing the scientific community.

Warm regards,

John Haynes, Ph.D.CEO, AIP Publishing “Whether your researchers are looking for the best

physical sciences research from around the world or they are looking to get their research in front of the world’s leading scientists, AIP Publishing delivers.”

Outstanding QualityWith nearly 370,000 total citations in the category of Applied Physics in 2013, Applied Physics Letters and the Journal of Applied Physics retained their positions as first and second in total citations for the category, accounting for more than one quarter of the total citations in this category comprised of 136 journals. In the same year, The Journal of Chemical Physics was ranked number one in total citations in Atomic, Molecular & Chemical Physics with close to 200,000 citations. In fact, more than one third of all citations from the 33 journals in this category are attributed to this one journal from AIP Publishing.

AIP Publishing: More Than PhysicsAre your scientists working on research related to solar cells, thin films, or graphene? Magnetic films, nanoparticles or LEDs? If so, you may be interested to know that the Journal of Applied Physics and Applied Physics Letters are community-acknowledged leaders in publishing ground-breaking research in the hot topic areas of Energy/Renewable Energy, Materials Science, and

Nanoscience/Nanotechnology. In 2013 these two journals from AIP Publishing published over 1,000 articles relating to Energy and nearly 2,000 articles relating to Nanoscience. And with over 7,000 articles related to Materials Science published in 2013, the Journal of Applied Physics and Applied Physics Letters may be the best Materials Science portfolio you’ve never heard of.

Broad Reach and DisseminationResearchers from nearly 4,000 institutions in more than 195 countries across the globe downloaded articles from AIP Publishing journals close to 14 million times in 2013. Whether your researchers are looking for the best physics research from around the world or they are looking to get their research in front of the world’s leading scientists, AIP Publishing delivers.

Fast Publication TimesAs the pace quickens in international research, speed to publication is becoming more important to researchers in all disciplines. AIP Publishing has undertaken a series of strategic moves to lower the time to publication for our peer-reviewed publications, with impressive results. In the span of one year, the average number of days from submission-to-publication dropped from 120 to 105 days.

Rigorous and Fair Peer ReviewIn 2013, over 22,075 individuals served as peer reviewers for AIP Publishing, providing balanced, actionable feedback to advance the research and careers of AIP Publishing authors. In that same year, over 90% of articles published benefited from significant reviewer input.

The Scitation Platform

Offering Enhanced Discoverability and Accessibility Launched in 2013, AIP’s Scitation platform is the online home for full text of the journals, magazines, and conference proceedings published by AIP Publishing and AIP Member Societies.

AIP ThesaurusThe AIP Thesaurus assigns subjects to every piece of published content making it easy for users to find the literature they need. Simply click on the topic of choice and drill down through 7,500 terms to more accurately find the right research.

Enhanced Personalization FeaturesScitation’s personalization features make it easier for users to manage their personal accounts quickly and easily. In one location they can update their personal details, change favorites settings, keep track of their search history, view purchased content, and set up alerts to stay up to date with the latest information in their fields.

Article-Level Metrics for All AIP Publishing JournalsArticle-level metrics provide a measure of an article’s influence over time as the usage accrues. This COUNTER 3-compliant tool measures abstract and full-text article views and offers a graphical snapshot of cumulative usage of both, beginning with the date the article was published online.

Author and Institution DisambiguationThis feature is the result of a project that mapped multiple name variations for more than 850,000 authors and 23,000 institutions. Each one has been assigned a unique identifier, making it easy to locate an author’s or institution’s publications.

The International Journal of Medical Physics Research and Practice

Published by the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) with the association of the Canadian Organization of Medical Physicists (COMP), the Canadian College of Physicists in Medicine (CCPM), and the International Organization for Medical Physics (IOMP) through the AIP Publishing LLC. Medical Physics is an of cial science journal of the AAPM and of the COMP/CCPM/IOMP.

Medical Physics is a hybrid gold open-access journal.

(a) (b) (c () d)

GEANT 4 Monte Carlo simulation of the impact of 1 T MRI magnetic fi eld on contaminant electron surface dose for

a fi xed beam-line MRI-Linac combination. The central axis of the 6 MV photon beam is aligned with the cylindrical

symmetry axis of the magnetic fi eld with a source-isocenter distance of 160 cm. The tracks of 10,000 charged

particles sampled from the phase space fi le at the base of fl attening fi lter are shown for a 20x20 cm2 fi eld size.

(a) B = 0 T (no magnetic fi eld); (b) B= 1 T MRI with conventional air beam path; (c) B = 1 T with optimal electron

contamination defl ector (ECD); (d) B = 1 T with optimal ECD and 71 cm thick helium gas reservoir (green rectangle).

Clearly, the MRI fi eld with unmodifi ed beam path introduces a large surface-dose hotspot in the fi eld center which is

effectively mitigated by the ECD with helium beam path.

reduction in a 1 T open bore inline MRI-linac system,’’ Med. Phys. 41, 051708 (15pp.) (2014)].
