The View from Our
Corner of the World
We are all riding the rough rapids in the current economic times.
What is our mission as a not-for-profit publisher?
l   Promote the advancement and
    dissemination of physics:

l   Setting professional standards
    for physicists and awarding
    professional qualifications;

l   Promoting physics through
    scientific conferences, education
    and science policy advice;

l   Scientific publishing and
    electronic dissemination of
    physics.
    Bringing these core values to Latin America

l    New Latin American Society agreements are being
     made and the first one was just completed with
     Uruguay. They include online access for Physics
     World.
l    Our first Latin American conference was held in Sao
     Paulo in February, in conjunction with the Brazilian
     government, local universities and the Royal Society
     of Chemistry.
l    A dedicated IOP webpage for Latin America.
At www.iop.org you will find this along the bottom of the page:
 And this is the gateway for Latin America

Now in
Spanish,
but coming
soon in
Portuguese
And a dedicated IOP representative based in Mexico.
With a product that is flexible enough to meet the needs
throughout the region.
                        fits Latin America for many reasons:
l   Flexible pricing based upon the size of the institution, the
    number of researchers, the number of papers published
    and economic hardship.

l   Many institutions could never afford traditional paper
    subscriptions.

l   Many shipping problems associated with paper journals.

l   The infrastructure for electronic access to journals is
    growing.

l   And primarily….
Latin America has a primary interest in world-wide science and likes
the global perspective available within journals in
                 continues to grow

l   In the number of articles:
     l Anticipating 348,900 by the end of 2009.


l   In the number of popular features:
     l “Users also read”.
     l Filtered search results.
     l Three sets of results from one search- peer
       reviewed articles, arXiv.org and news.
     l Personalization options.
