IOP Publishing provides a comprehensive range of products and services to the physics and physics-related communities including an award-winning platform for electronic publishing. It is also an integral part of the Institute of Physics, a leading international professional body and learned society, established to promote the advancement of physics. IOP Publishing directly contributes to the funding of the educational and charitable work done by the Institute. 4 Highlights 2010 journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical journal scope Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical is a major journal of theoretical physics reporting research on the mathematical structures that describe fundamental processes of the physical world and on the analytical, computational and numerical methods for exploring these structures. Mathematical papers should be clearly motivated by actual or potential application to physical phenomena. Research papers published in Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical are catergorized into one of six subject sections: •Statistical physics •Chaotic and complex systems •Mathematical physics •Quantum mechanics and quantum information theory •Field theory and string theory •Fluid and plasma theory To be accepted for publication in the journal, papers must make significant, original and correct contributions to one or more of the topics within these sections. Journal team Our dedicated team at IOP Publishing is here to look after your work, ensuring that the whole process from submission to publication via the peer-review process and promotion is run in a satisfactory manner.

As soon as an idea is expressed in a physical medium, such as writing a paper, it qualifies for copyright protection. Copyright is a legal right that gives the copyright holder exclusive rights over how others use their work. The level and type of protection offered by copyright varies between countries. A form of intellectual property, copyright can be dealt with like other types of property – it can be acquired, disposed of or licensed. Copyright is time-limited. The period of protection varies, but in most countries a journal article created at the present time will be protected for between 50 and 70 years from the death of the last surviving author. By means of a number of local and international laws and conventions, copyright which arises in one country is recognised and protected in many others. Treatment of copyright in the digital environment is evolving at an unprecedented rate. Copyright exists to protect the rights of an owner of an original piece of work by imposing restrictions on reuse but it does not always fit well with how we use and share information in the digital sphere.
