AIP Publishing Launches Pilot of AIP Fusion: A New Model for Open Science in the Physical Sciences - AIP Publishing LLC

"AIP Publishing (AIPP), a not-for-profit publisher serving the global physical sciences community, today announced the launch of AIP Fusion, a new services-based business model that redefines how institutions access and contribute to scientific research. Initially, the AIP Fusion model will be piloted with a select group of institutions and library consortia in 2026.

Rooted in AIPP’s mission to advance, promote, and serve the physical sciences for the benefit of humanity by breaking barriers to open, fair research, AIP Fusion moves beyond the traditional “article economy” to a services-based model that offers unlimited reading and publishing services in AIPP’s full portfolio of 40+ journals under one simple, transparent agreement. By eliminating article processing charges (APCs) for participating institutions, AIP Fusion ensures that researchers can publish openly, ethically, and without administrative friction—empowering discovery, collaboration, and innovation."
