Promoting physics, supporting physicists The Institute of Physics is a scientific

membership organisation that promotes the opportunities made possible through physics.

Over 34,000 members worldwide. 44 subject groups and six professional

groups. Supporting education. Advising government and industry. Raising awareness.

Our mission: Is to advance physics in order to further

understanding of the physical world and its application for social and economic benefit;

To promote interest and participation in physics across society as a whole;

To support and involve physicists throughout their education and careers;

IOP Publishing, brief description: Over 50 journals; 10 community websites; Six magazines including Physics World; 21 international publishing partners including

Cern, IAEA and AAS; Broad interdisciplinary coverage reflecting

the nature of scientific research and application, from topics as varied as astronomy, mathematics, the biosciences and, of course, physics.

eIFL in Lithuania: Most of IOP titles available via eIFL; Hugely reduced costs; Similar level of access as researchers in “top

class” institutions (such as MIT or Cambridge);

Demand for electronic journals rapidly growing much faster in the last couple of years;

“Turnaways” also increasing.

Publishing: the global picture: Research output on the increase, more and

more papers published every year (3% growth year on year);

Some “new” countries such as China and India making big impact;

Some previously influential countries losing their power;

Learned societies playing an active part in publishing in general, especially in Science Technology and Medical (STM) publishing.

What happens to your paper? How do we process your research paper? How long does it take? What does a publisher do when a paper gets

published?

What happens to your paper? The process and evaluation:

Receipt to publication times for IOP Journals:

What happens to your paper? Marketing Dedicated marketing team to help promote the work

of our authors. Work closely with authors to promote their papers

(press releases, recommended reader campaigns, inclusion in journal highlight campaigns, promotion at exhibitions etc.)

General services to improve visibility and accessibility of papers including IOP Select, This months papers, RSS and e-mail alerts etc.

Marketing campaigns help improve citation performance, promote the work of the author and the science.

Ensure our journals are available through services like EIFL and INASP.

What happens to your paper? Citations to IOP articles

What happens to your paper? Growth in Impact factors

Building global partnerships Partner publishing is one way we help

support the global physics community. Provide our expertise to decrease publication

times, increase visibility and citations. The Publisher is a “contractor”, no change in

ownership. Example of how partnership publishing can

work: Chinese Physical Society partnership.

Partnership Publishing: increase visibility

Partnership Publishing: increase citation
