LETTER TO THE LIBRARY COMMUNITY fROM THE TREASURER/PUBLISHER

Joseph W. serene
PHYSICAL REVIEW, PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS, REVIEWS OF MODERN PHYSICS, PHYSICAL REVIEW SPECIAL TOPICS, PHYSICS, AND PHYSICAL REVIEW ONLINE ARCHIVE

INTRODUCTION The journals of the American Physical Society embody the objective of the Society: the advancement and diffusion of the knowledge of physics. We strive to produce journals of the highest quality, and at the same time, to keep our journals accessible to researchers and students at institutions of all types and sizes, everywhere in the world, through ongoing efforts to reduce production costs and through policies such as tiered pricing and reduced-price or free subscriptions for institutions in developing countries. In response to requests for public access from readers outside the traditional research community, we now provide free access to all APS publications for public libraries and high schools in the United States, with a very simple sign-up procedure at https://librarians.aps.org/account/ public_access_new. We hope to expand this program to other countries in the future. APS ONLINE JOURNALS The online journals are the definitive versions of the APS publications described here. A subscription to an individual APS journal provides access back to the first issue of that journal, thus eliminating rolling back files and clarifying COUNTER statistics. We continue to improve our journal websites, including our Librarian Portal, and we appreciate suggestions and requests from our librarian colleagues and our readers. The unified APS platform at http://publish.aps. org/ will allow us to offer additional personalized services for readers, authors, and referees. We set prices for the online journals to cover the costs of peer review, production of the electronic content, secure archiving, and electronic distribution, along with associated subscriber services (such as search engines, reference linking, RSS feeds, etc.), plus a small net return. Due to increasing numbers and quality of submissions, particularly from Asia, the total number of articles and pages published by APS journals has continued to grow, as shown in Fig. 1, displaying the annual number of pages published in APS-ALL since 2003, including our projection for 2012 (with the actual figures averaged over three years to eliminate misleading fluctuations due to occasional end-of-year production backlogs). The overall growth in the number of articles published in APS journals does not reflect a lowering of standards. Instead our journals grow because they receive more and more papers that meet our high standards for publication, and because we never reject papers simply because they are not about a currently hot topic. Most of our publication costs grow in proportion to the size of our journals, and so the growth in published pages drives increases in our prices, even without background inflation. Fig. 2 gives

the actual or projected price-per-page for APS-ALL for each Tier over 2003-2013 in constant 2003 dollars (with total inflation for 2012 and 2013 estimated by the 2011 value). We continue to widen the price differences across Tiers, because while our 2013 prices for Tier 5 versus Tier 1 differ by only a factor of approximately 2.7, the typical usage by institutions in these Tiers differs by several orders of magnitude. We are deeply appreciative of the contributions that volunteer peer reviewers make to their scientific communities, but our additional costs still must be covered, and by any reasonable measure the large research institutions carry far less than their fair share of these costs. Another way to calibrate the price history of the APS journals is by comparison with undergraduate tuition at private research universities, and we have done this in Fig. 3, which shows the ratio of the price-per-page of APS-ALL to the average undergraduate tuition of six major U.S. research universities over 2003-2011. We encourage subscribers to consider the APS-ALL package, which remains our most costeffective subscription option. A full listing of 2013 prices can be found at: http://librarians.aps. org/institutional.html. We strive to guarantee the archival integrity of our online journals. In addition to the primary versions of record at our editorial office, we maintain two other complete and continuously

updated mirror sites for all of our content, distributed widely across the U.S., and we have also deposited the full APS content with Portico. We want to assure the library community that we share its deep concern with this issue. The archive of APS journals is a priceless record of our subject, stretching from the present back to 1893, and is heavily used by active scientists, students, and historians. We are committed to its preservation and to enhancing its usefulness. SCOAP3 The SCOAP3 project, organized by CERN, is now scheduled to begin in 2014, assuming that it obtains adequate official commitments of library funds, and hence it is not relevant to 2013 subscriptions or prices for journals covering high-energy physics. If APS journals are included in a SCOAP3 package in 2014 and beyond, we will adjust the prices of all affected journals in a fair, open, and transparent way. PRINT JOURNALS IN 2013 Although over 75% of subscriptions to APS journals are now online-only, we continue to offer the option of augmenting standard online subscriptions by printed copies. We set subscription prices for the printed journals to cover the estimated expenses for printing and distribution only. Because printing involves large fixed costs, independent of the number of copies printed, a consistently decreasing number of print subscriptions requires the incremental prices of the printed journals to rise significantly faster than the online-only prices.

CONCLUSION The elected Council of the APS sets the prices of the journals based on advice from its Publications Oversight Committee and the APS publications staff. Two representatives of the library community, appointed in consultation with the Physics, Astronomy, and Mathematics Division (PAM) of the Special Libraries Association (SLA) attend the Committee meetings as advisers. On behalf of the Committee and the APS, I thank the past years advisers, Dana L. Roth of California Institute of Technology and A. Ben Wagner of the State University of New York at Buffalo. We have benefited greatly from their contributions and we value their wisdom and their friendship, particularly in these challenging times for both libraries and society publishers.

MESSAgE fROM THE EdITOR IN CHIEf

Gene D. sprouse
In this 2013 APS Journals Catalog, we provide complete information on the ten journals that are published by the American Physical Society: Physical Review Letters, Reviews of Modern Physics, the Physical Review series and the two open access Special Topics journals. Launched in 2011, within the Physical Review series, is Physical Review X, a broad-scope, interdisciplinary, online-only, fully open access journal. With its high standards and broad reach, PRX has become an exciting new option for authors and a valuable resource for readers. Funded by article-processing charges paid by authors or their institutions, PRX is available free, for all users worldwide. Each journals page in this catalog has its field coverage, editorial staff, impact and immediacy factors, abstracting and indexing summaries, and subscription options, as well as projections of the number of pages and articles that we expect to publish in that journal in 2013. Throughout the catalog you will see a number of the colorful and intriguing images that enhance our journal articles. We are now able to provide you with more accurate usage statistics, thanks to the recent realignment of our archives, such that an individual subscription to a single journal now includes everything published in that journal since its inception. The APS-ALL and PR-ALL packages share this alignment. The Physical Review Online Archive, better known as PROLA, is an archive of the APS publications, complete but for the most recent three years. This catalog has full information on PROLA and its structure, pages covering our services and several non-archival publications, and our free publication called Physics. Physics features original commentary and summaries of especially noteworthy papers from the Physical Review and Physical Review Letters, as selected by the editors of these journals. Recently, Physical Review Focus, a highlighting publication not unlike Physics but aimed at students, non-specialists, and journalists, was incorporated within Physics. Additional enhancements are contemplated as part of the ongoing effort to help readers find papers of particular interest to them from among the over 19,000 that we publish in a year. In past years this catalog had information on the Virtual Journalssix topical online collections of abstracts and links to editor-selected articles from a broad range of journals in the physical sciences. When they were started in 2001, as an alternative to expensive niche journals, the Virtual Journals were designed to appear as new fields appropriate for them emerged, and perhaps to disappear when they were no longer as useful. Increased sophistication in searching and the advent of saved searches now enables readers to create their own customized virtual journals, and so the APS/AIP sponsored Virtual Journals will be phased out in early November 2012. As you see in the accompanying material from Treasurer/Publisher Joe Serene, although submissions and published papers go up every year, we have been able to limit price increases by controlling our operational expenses and negotiating with our vendors, while keeping the quality and utility of our publications very high. In the 2012 journals brochure, we mentioned that during business hours, APS receives a new manuscript submission every 3 minutes. We recently calculated that someone cites Physical Review Letters every 2 minutes, around the clock. We hope you will continue to choose to subscribe to our journals. Gene D. Sprouse

CREATIVE COMMONS

As of 15 February 2011, authors in most Physical Review journals may pay an article-processing charge whereby their accepted manuscripts are available barrier-free and open access on publication. These manuscripts are published under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License (CC-BY), the most permissive of the CC licenses, granting authors and others the right to copy, distribute, transmit, and adapt the work, provided that proper credit is given. This alternative is in addition to traditional subscription-funded publication; authors may choose one or the other for their accepted papers. The new article-processing charges, which cover all costs and provide a sustainable funding model, have been set at $1700 for papers in the Physical Review and $2700 for those in Physical Review Letters. The resulting open access articles appear alongside and mixed in with subscription-funded articles, converting these journals into hybrid open access journals. The most selective of our journals must have higher article-processing charges for their open access articles, said Gene D. Sprouse, APS Editor in Chief. Physical Review accepts about 60% of articles submitted and Physical Review Letters roughly 25%, so the costs are higher than in less selective journals. Revenue from the article-processing charges will decrease the need for subscription income and help to keep the APS subscription price-per-article among the lowest of any physics journals. Wed like to reduce the pressure on library subscriptions, while opening access more widely. Article-processing charges are a means to accomplish both, said Joseph W. Serene, APS Treasurer/Publisher. Also on February 15, 2011 Physical Review Special Topics - Accelerators and Beams (PRST-AB) and Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research (PRST-PER) had their full archives and all future papers made available under the CC-BY license, thereby converting both of these journals to gold open access journals. PRST-PERs publication-charge scheme was realigned with the new program. PRST-AB continues to be funded by its sponsors. Finally, APSs Free to Read program was phased out, and all of these papers covered by the CC-BY license.

APS TIER DEFINITIONS

APS continues its efforts to achieve a fair distribution of costs between major research active subscribers, small undergraduate institutions, and those in between. The APS was established in 1899 to Promote and Diffuse the Knowledge of Physics. 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). There are two points of view which both lead to increasing the fraction of journal revenue, which comes from the more research active institutions. One is from a business perspective. As cost pressures weigh on college budgets, small institutions may feel forced to drop their institutional subscriptions. This would be a significant loss, both for their students and for the larger community. In particular, the loss in revenue will have to be made up by the remaining institutions. By putting a constraint on the prices of the small colleges we hope to keep them as subscribers. This is economically a win-win situation. The second perspective is more fundamental. The future health of physics is heavily dependent on the educational activities of our small colleges because they foster both the graduate schools and the technical workforce. APS is committed to keeping the literature of physics accessible to all portions of our community. Policy for tier designations is set by APS Members who serve on the APS Advisory Committee. Tier 5 Very Large Research Institutions (Represents less than 1% of all subscribers) - The methodology used to determine this tier is based on the size, nature, and scale of an institutions research activities, the degree to which an institution regards research as a fundamental aim, the size of the research budget in physical sciences, significant usage activity and significant publishing activities of the institutions researchers in APSs journals. Tier 4 Large Research Institutions (Represents approximately 5% of all subscribers) - The methodology used to determine this tier is based on the size, nature, and scale of an institutions research activities, the degree to which an institution regards research as a fundamental aim, the size of the research budget in physical sciences, substantial usage activity and substantial publishing activities of the institutions researchers in APSs journals. Tier 3 Carnegie Research Extensive institutions and their overseas equivalents, as well as government laboratories and corporations Tier 2 Carnegie Research Intensive institutions and overseas equivalents Tier 1 Small Institutions and the remainder of the academic institutions and their overseas equivalents
