AIP releases new app for authors and reviewers — iPeerReview

AIP releases new app for authors and review­ers — 04 Aug 2011

AIP Pub­lish­ing, a divi­sion of the Amer­i­can Insti­tute of Physics (AIP), has announced the release of its new app, iPeer­Re­view. The new app allows authors and review­ers to use their iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices to access a broad range of infor­ma­tion on papers sub­mit­ted to any of AIP’s jour­nals in Peer X-Press, AIP’s man­u­script sub­mis­sion and review system.

Once logged in, users can per­form a num­ber of activ­i­ties related to their papers. They can access a list of all active and com­pleted papers, view the sta­tus his­tory of a paper, view and save a paper in PDF for­mat, email a paper, and link to a paper on AIP’s Sci­ta­tion plat­form if it is in pro­duc­tion or to Peer X-Press if it is under review.

When users access iPeer­Re­view, they can either log in or access papers that they have pre­vi­ously saved to their device. The app will deter­mine if they are an author, a reviewer, or both. In the event that they are both an author and a reviewer, iPeer­Re­view will allow them to access both sets of papers under sep­a­rate tabs.”

American Institute of Physics to secure all journals in dark archive

 

Melville, NY, June 12, 2009 — “The Amer­i­can Insti­tute of Physics (AIP) announced today that online ver­sions of all its jour­nals will soon reside in the dark archive, CLOCKSS (Con­trolled Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe), a joint ven­ture by libraries and pub­lish­ers com­mit­ted to ensur­ing long-term access to schol­arly pub­li­ca­tions in dig­i­tal for­mat. CLOCKSS will make AIP con­tent freely avail­able in the event that AIP is no longer able to pro­vide access.” 

CLOCKSS cre­ates a secure, multi-site archive of web-published con­tent that can be tapped into to pro­vide ongo­ing access to researchers world­wide, free of charge.”

“The Amer­i­can Insti­tute of Physics is a fed­er­a­tion of 10 phys­i­cal sci­ence soci­eties rep­re­sent­ing more than 135,000 sci­en­tists, engi­neers, and edu­ca­tors and is one of the world’s largest pub­lish­ers of sci­en­tific infor­ma­tion in physics. Offer­ing full-solution pub­lish­ing ser­vices for physics sci­en­tific soci­eties and for sim­i­lar orga­ni­za­tions in sci­ence and engi­neer­ing, AIP pur­sues inno­va­tion in elec­tronic pub­lish­ing of schol­arly jour­nals. AIP pub­lishes its own

12 jour­nals (many of which have the high­est impact fac­tors in their cat­e­gory); two mag­a­zines, includ­ing its flag­ship pub­li­ca­tion Physics Today; and the AIP Con­fer­ence Pro­ceed­ings. Its online pub­lish­ing plat­form Sci­ta­tion hosts nearly two mil­lion arti­cles from more than 185 schol­arly jour­nals, and other pub­li­ca­tions of 28 learned soci­ety publishers.”

Scitation Database Implements Web 2.0 Applications

The Amer­i­can Insti­tute of Physics (AIP) announced the release of con­tent redesigns for six addi­tional clients on AIP’s Sci­ta­tion online pub­lish­ing plat­form. Enhance­ments include the incor­po­ra­tion of Web 2.0 fea­tures, which allow blog­gers to cap­ture a pre­for­mat­ted cita­tion that con­tains embed­ded code and plug it directly into their blog, with­out any re-keying. Users can use social book­mark­ing, which allow them to store and access book­marks from any com­puter and to use tags to orga­nize the book­marks. A Research Toolkit is avail­able where researchers can dis­cover and con­nect with online work­flow tools such as zotero and Google Note­book.”
