AIP Publishing Eliminates Publication Page Charges across ALL Journals

"MELVILLE, N.Y., Jan. 5, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- AIP Publishing announced today the elimination of publication page charges and color charges, as of January 1, 2018, for all of the organization's journals, including Physics of Plasmas, Review of Scientific Instruments, and 10 other prominent peer-reviewed physical science titles. The company's decision followed an assessment of the global publishing landscape, which found that the charges represented potential barriers to some researchers, and no longer serve the AIP Publishing non-profit mission. Two prominent AIP Publishing titles, Journal of Applied Physics and Applied Physics Letters, ceased levying publication page charges in June 2017.

Removing these charges is the latest in a series of AIP Publishing policy initiatives to accommodate emerging shifts in scholarly communication. In 2016 the company adapted its licensing policies so that authors retain copyright of their work, and can share author manuscripts, without embargo, upon acceptance into an AIP Publishing journal...."
