APS Tiers APS continues its efforts to achieve a fair distribution of costs between major research subscribers, small undergraduate institutions, and those in between. The APS Council supports the philosophy that the cost of research activity should be distributed to reflect the way different institutions utilize the literature. In particular, it should reflect both the value of the product to the reader (students, researchers, etc.) and the value of the journal as a distributor of research information (authors, institutions). Online Subscriptions All APS journals are hosted on the APS platform. This unified and simplified configuration provides a consolidated set of personalized services for readers, authors, and referees.

The online journals are the definitive versions of the APS publications: Physical Review Applied 2014–2016 Physical Review Letters 1958–2016 Reviews of Modern Physics 1929–2016 Physical Review A–D 1970–2016 Physical Review E 1993–2016 Physical Review X 2011–2016 Physical Review Special Topics—Accelerators and Beams 1998–2016 Physical Review Special Topics—Physics Education Research 2005–2016

26 APS Journals 2016 2016 CD-ROM Prices Each APS Journal CD-ROM is a hybrid HTML/PDF CD-ROM that allows for “electronic shelving” of that journal. The discs contain PDFs of the year’s journals to allow the transfer of the information onto the subscribing institution’s server, thus “shelving” the information contained in the printed journals. The disc is the functional equivalent of a bound volume. This product provides the opportunity for users to secure their own archival copy of the annual issues.

The root directory contains an HTML document that links to each issue’s table of contents, also in HTML format. Each issue has its own directory, which includes the HTML table of contents and PDF files of the articles. These files may be read with any conventional web browser and appropriate PDF viewer (such as Adobe Reader).

Access is limited subject to the terms and conditions set forth by the current journal subscription. APS online journals and their content, including abstracts, are copyrighted by the APS and are subject to all applicable copyright, database protection, and other rights of the APS as copyright owner and publisher under the laws of the United States and other countries.
