Physics is an online publication from the American Physical Society (APS). Its goal is to highlight selected articles published in APS publications, and to offer expert commentary. Physics has 3 types of entries: : “Viewpoints discuss and explain a particular article's findings in a manner accessible to all physicists. Trends cover a recent body of work in a specific field, but also look ahead to the challenges and questions that fascinate that field’s top researchers. Synopses summarize articles that merit wider attention among physicists in all fields."
Energy & Environmental Science is a new journal from the Royal Society of Chemistry. It covers "all aspects of the chemical sciences relating to energy conversion and storage, alternative fuel technologies, and environmental science." Although the University at Albany does not have a subscription to Energy & Environmental Science, our institutional subscription to other RSC journals allows free access during 2008 and 2009. The first issue is now available.
JSTOR has added the following journals:
From the American Chemical Society, Global Challenges/Chemistry Solutions is a series of podcasts describing some of society 's most challenging problems and how chemistry research is finding some of the solutions.
The American Geophysical Union (AGU) will discontinue print subscriptions after 2010. This policy applies to all AGU journals, except Eos Transactions. For additional information, please see: The Demise of Print by Francis Albarède, Eos Transactions, 89 (28), 257.
The journal Science and Technology of Advanced Materials has changed publishers and is now open access. The new publisher is the National Institute for Materials Science. It has moved from ScienceDirect to the Institute of Physics ( IOP) platform. Volume 1, 2000+ is available on the IOP Website.
