The new year may only be a few days old, but there is plenty of news we’d like to share with you…

Scientific Advisory Committee

The EDP Sciences Scientific Advisory Committee has been established to advise EDP Sciences on strategic matters and ensure a permanent, formal link between the publisher and the scientific community. The Committee provides editorial advice to ensure that EDP Sciences’ high publishing standards are maintained. It also ensures that the governance of EDP Sciences continues to be based on the values of learned societies.

Journal de Physique digital archives 

The Journal de Physique archives are full of the biggest names in physics (Curie, Planck, Rutherford, Becquerel and, more recently, Giorgio Parisi…) and span 1872-1997 – undoubtedly, one of the most exciting periods in physics research. Through them, researchers gain historical insight into current research and are inspired to explore new research ideas. Visit the archives to read some original articles and complementary modern commentaries or take a look at Discovery through multi-lingual science archives published recently in Research Information.

Astronomy & Astrophysics Subscribe-to-Open (S2O)

Astronomy & Astrophysics is moving to a Subscribe-to-Open model (S2O) in 2022 and therefore, if libraries renew their subscriptions, to full open access. “It was important for us to apply a collaborative, transparent and rapid conversion to open access and balance that with a model that works for the astronomy community, and we consider S2O a promising approach.” Professor André Moitinho de Almeida, Chairperson of the A&A Board of Directors.

Books

For all bibliophiles, start the year with What is Space-Time made of? or the free e-book Neutrons for Science. For a bit of fun, try La physique du popcorn – it’s thoroughly entertaining!

Free anniversary posters 

In 2020, EDP Sciences celebrated its 100 year anniversary. We commissioned an A1 poster for the occasion featuring some of our best-known authors. A few posters are still available. If you would like to receive one, please contact 100@edpsciences.org.
