IOPscience
Tony O’Rourke
Assistant Directory, Journals
-5000 (5300) institutions (in 2004) active interest (publishing) in physics
[This seems to be more like what they mentioned last year – blowing up the journal model… to a database of individual journal articles with virtual groupings…]
- All journals, database view, 1874-current,
- Not to replace Inspec or other A&I services, this is still about IOP
- new pricing model factors include
- size of research
- Usage
- Location
- Type of institution (research, small college)
- permanent access to subscribed years
- better search, better browse, forward/backward citing, tag clouds, PACS, clusters, RSS feeds
- full content to everything they publish
Questions:
- who has access to the beta? 300 large institutions (and now everyone in the room upon request)
- new model will co-exist with journal subscription model
- slides will be posted on the PAM site
