The move is part of AIP's established mandate to advance and disseminate physics research worldwide. It is also seen as the foundation of a program that will provide links to AIP journal abstracts from a host of other publishers and databases. Within the next six months we expect to extend this process to link to the abstracts and full text of articles published by a number of other physics publishers. Access to free abstracts also benefits users of AIP's online document delivery service, providing more information with which to make a purchasing decision. There are more than 75,000 articles available through the AIP Online Journal Publishing Service, for immediate online delivery at prices well below those of other document delivery services.
Articles are available for purchase via credit card on a secure online order form.
Web of Science is a Web interface that provides researchers with navigational tools to find current and retrospective information in ISI's Citation Databases. Theses databases cover over 8,000 scientific, technical, and medical journals, with more than 600 in the physical sciences. Implementation of this agreement immediately adds more than 300,000 reference links to AIP journals. We're very happy to be working with them on this project which will bring their high-quality research to the attention of thousands of people worldwide. The addition of links from AIP articles and their references to the Web of Science completes the process begun with links from Web of Science to AIP full-text articles last September.
