There are now separate information pages for each of the journals, and several major new services have been added. Further enhancements and services will be added in the months and years ahead. A program automatically translates the information in the database and provides it to the author in a clearer format, with confidential information removed. Cryptic database codes are replaced by verbal descriptions and certain information is omitted, such as the identities of referees. ASIS is unique, and it has been an enormous success with authors, responding to more than 50,000 inquiries a month.
Authors can send in corrections via the Web interface or e-mail.
Tables of Contents of recent issues of PR and PRL were introduced in November 1995. Advance Listings of Accepted PR and PRL Papers were added as a free service to readers in March 1996. When available, a postscript version of the preprint, courtesy of the Los Alamos e-print archive, can be obtained from the links. For the past 20 years, APS has maintained an extensive database to assist editorial operations. This database tracks the history of submitted manuscripts, past and present, as well as the availability, expertise, and reviewing history of referees.
