IOP Publishing, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Institute of Physics, and The Japan Society of Applied Physics (JSAP) have announced a five year agreement for the publication of Applied Physics Express (APEX) and The Japanese Journal of Applied Physics (JJAP). These titles are English language journals currently self-published by The Japan Society of Applied Physics.
As a result of this agreement, the journals will be published under a partnership arrangement for the first time in their history. Both titles are highly regarded internationally for their breadth and coverage of the field of applied physics, collectively publishing over two thousand articles, review and letters a year. JJAP has been established for over 50 years.
The first papers to be published under the agreement are expected to be available online in December 2013. The extensive archive of over 65 thousand articles for both journals will also be made available on IOPscience (IOP Publishing’s online journal platform) in the coming months.
JSAP will continue to manage submissions, peer review and production for both titles. IOP Publishing will manage the sales, marketing and online hosting.
