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.”

MIT Labs have developed a “Sixth Sense”

From the TED (Tech­nol­ogy, Enter­tain­ment , Design) site:

This demo — from Pat­tie Maes’ lab at MIT, spear­headed by Pranav Mis­try — was the buzz of TED. It’s a wear­able device with a pro­jec­tor that paves the way for pro­found inter­ac­tion with our environment.

Pranav Mis­try is the genius behind Sixth Sense, a wear­able device that enables new inter­ac­tions between the real world and the world of data.

Take a look at TED, too.  Efforts began in 1984 to share earth-shaking ideas at a con­fer­ence in Long Beach, CA.  The best talks and per­for­mances are  freely avail­able to view.  One can sub­scribe to the TED series.
