Japanese Journal ofApplied Physics
What is JJAP?
The Japanese Journal of Applied Physics (JJAP)
has been publishing crucial information on
advanced research topics in applied physics
since 1962. JJAP has grown as an international
journal and is currently widely circulated in
more than 50 countries around the world. The
citation rate for published papers is ranked
high among international journals in the field ofapplied physics. JJAP covers not only all
aspects of modern technology, such as semiconductor devices, high-temperature superconductors, and magnetic recordings, but it also
covers diverse areas such as plasma physics
and particle accelerators. Articles in the interdisciplinary areas with potential technologicalimplications are strongly promoted.

JJAP Online
JJAP Online is the online version of JJAP Parts 1 and 2.
We are demonstrating a full text version of Part 1 (excl.
special issues) and Part 2 in PDF format, and all papers'
abstracts in HTML format. The full text of Part 2 in HTML
format has been published since June 1999.
In addition, references are provided on each abstract
page, which have a hyperlink to JJAP articles available
in JJAP Online and in other major journals. This demonstration version is currently free of charge.
Archives
Browsable titles and abstracts are available from Vol. 33(1994) Jan. to the curreent issue. The full text of letter
articles in PDF format are available from Vol. 37 (1998)
Jan. (registration required).
SearchKeys for searching articles can be taken from titles,
authors, abstracts and keywords.

NEWSJJAP Express Letters keeps you rightup-to-date with all the latest research
in Applied Physics
Since our new section, Express Letters, wasintroduced in April 1998 in JJAP Part 2, wehave attracted numbers of articles containing
important new data and we have created a
rapid-response publication system* whichguarantees publication in no more than 45days. (*from the date of receipt to the date ofpublication.)
In 1998, the average publishing period was infact even faster, just 37 days.
Papers in the Express Letters section are reviewed in consideration of the following: If thepaper deserves urgent publication, written incorrect standard English, scholarly and wellstructured. Papers accepted, pass immediately
on to the production stage, to be published inthe earliest issue of JJAP Part 2: Full text of all
Express Letters are also published in the JJAPOnline.

Hyperlinks
JJAP Online has started mutual reference linking withAPS, AIP and IOPP. Since May 1999, JJAP Online has
hyperlinks to journals; J. Appl. Phys.; Appl. Phys. Lett.;
Phys. Rev. A to E; Phys. Rev. Lett.; J. Opt. Soc. Am. A &B; Opt. Lett. and J. Phys. Soc. Jpn.
Notes
You will find hyperlinks only to articles available online.
Requirements for access to hyperlinks depends on therules of individual journals.

Free Access Service toJJAP Individual Subscribers
A free access service to the SPIN database (Searchable
Physics Information Notices) is available. SPIN is abibliographic database of the most current abstracts
from over 80 journals published by the American
Institute of Physics. By accessing this service, you will get
the benefit of JJAP Online and the SPIN Database.

Supplements

Journals
Part 1 (monthly) -Regular Papers, Short Notes
and Review Papers

Proceedings from international conferences in thefield of applied physics andother features.

Besides regular papers and short notes, Part 1 includes review papers for thesubjects of recent interest in applied physics, authored by leading scientists.
Publication usually takes place five months after papers are received. In
addition, several special issues are published each year. These containmonographs published at international conferences, and up-to-date findings
by research groups. (List of special issues is availabe at http://wwwsoc.nacsis.ac.jp/jjap)

JJAP Series
The JJAP Series has a wider
range than the JJAP Supplements, covering conferences,
research group findings,
and other important academic documents.

Part 2 (bimonthly) – Letters and Express Letters

Refer to the JJAP circular
1999 for details.

This section is intended for the rapid dissemination of important new research
results. Publication following the receipt of a paper usually takes place within
90 days for Letters and 45 days for Express Letters. According to dataobtained from the SCI Journal Citation Reports 1997 (ISI, Inc.), the impact
factor of Part 2 is ranked 6th out of 62 journals in the field of applied physics.
Part 2 can be purchased separately.
