IOP Publishing and the International Union for Pure and Applied Physics
(IUPAP) Commission on Computational Physics are pleased to announce the
signing of a five-year framework agreement for publishing open-access
conference proceedings.
This is the first formal publishing agreement of its kind between IOP and
IUPAP and will mean that the proceedings of the annual Conference on
Computational Physics will be published as volumes within the open access
Journal of Physics: Conference Series (JPCS).
Professor James Gubernatis of the Commission said ?We selected JPCS to
help our conference organizers reduce time and administrative effort to
meet the policies of IUPAP with regard to publishing accessible
proceedings. Working with JPCS also assists them in predicting their
costs, while offering the flexibility to meet special needs.?
Graham Douglas, Senior Publisher, said ?We are delighted that IOP
Publishing?s open-access proceedings journal has been recognized by the
IUPAP as the most effective way to disseminate their proceedings. We look
forward to a highly successful collaboration between our two societies,
and to publications that will be of long-lasting value to physics
communities worldwide.?
Launched in 2004, JPCS is a fully open-access proceedings journal which
covers the entire spectrum of physics research, publishing more than 60
proceedings per year. Its rapid growth and adoption by the international
physics community is reflected in more than 150,000 article downloads
every month. Authors retain the copyright of their proceedings papers.
The new arrangement comes into effect immediately and the proceeding of
the October 2011 event in Gatlinburg, TN USA will be the first to be
published in JPCS.
