143 New Outstanding Referees announced for 2011

•  Outstanding Referee Program started in 2008 •  Recognizes scientists who have been exceptionally helpful in

assessing manuscripts for all APS journals.

•  Awards are based on the quality number and timeliness of their reports without regard for membership in the APS country of origin or field of research.

•  The award is highly selective comparable to APS Fellowship with only 1/3% out of 45,000 active referees recognized each year.

•  With this year’s awardees we now have 1174 Outstanding Referees

•  The awardees come from 45 different countries with large contingents from the US Germany Canada Spain UK and France.

•  Outstanding Referees are to be congratulated and thanked for their outstanding service to the physics community.

CC licenses at APS

Because we can no longer collect $$ for subscriptions, authors must pay an article processing charge associated with making their article freely available.(except for PRST-AB) –  PR $1700 (hybrid journals, because some free,

some CC license) –  PRL $2700 (hybrid journal) –  PRX $1500 (“gold” open access journal, all is free). –  PRST-PER $1000(short articles)

Author Choice •  It is not clear that many authors can or will pay to have their

articles freely available on the internet. •  It is clear, however, that APS MUST have options for authors

to choose. •  It is also clear, that APS MUST have these options in place

now, in case there are government mandates, that we will be able to respond quickly to any changes.

•  My prediction is that our current journals and our open access options will coexist for many years to come, and any changes will take place gradually.

•  With these new offerings, APS is in a strong and stable position for the future.
