As Associate Members of EPS, we are always very pleased to share our latest news and updates and to connect with you through the e-EPS.

Subscribe-to-Open (S2O) – A&A and Maths

The Astronomy & Astrophysics (A&A) Board of Directors and EDP Sciences are pleased to confirm that A&A will be published open access in 2022 under the terms of the Subscribe-to-Open (S2O) model. This follows the announcement in March by the Société de Mathématiques Appliquées et Industrielles (SMAI) and EDP Sciences that six mathematics journals will continue to publish in open access in 2022 under S2O. In addition we have published Subscribe-to-Open (S2O) 2022 Transparency Report. The annual report details costs and prices and other metrics related to the EDP Sciences-SMAI Subscribe-to-Open program.

EPJ Web of Conferences – open access proceedings

EPJ WoC (as you may see it)  is an important member of the European Physical Journal (EPJ) series. It recently published “mm Universe @ NIKA2 - Observing the mm Universe with the NIKA2 camera” (Volume 257). Marco De Petris, Dip. Fisica – Univ. Di Roma La Sapienza, commented “I really appreciated the professionalism of all the people with whom I interacted to carry out these proceedings. The collaboration received was very effective and allowed the proceedings to be completed in a very short time.”

Acta Acustica – audio articles 

For all acousticians, did you know Acta Acustica now publishes audio articles? The most recent is “Parameter identification of a physical model of brass instruments by constrained continuation” by Vincent Fréour et al. (read). To stay up to date with the latest open access acoustics research, sign up for free e-mail alerts or follow @ActaAcustica on Twitter.

Journal de Physique digital archives

We were fascinated to see the link between Mieczysław Wolfke and Louis de Broglie highlighted in last month’s e-EPS. Louis de Broglie helped to establish EDP Sciences and features in the Journal de Physique. His earliest contribution was “Rayonnement noir et quanta de lumière” in 1922! “There is undoubtedly educational value to reading ‘legacy papers’, and this holds true for articles written in any language.” Gaia Donati, Discovery through multi-lingual science archives.

Book – Einstein’s Witches’ Sabbath and the Early Solvay Councils

Also going back in time is our highlighted book, Einstein’s Witches’ Sabbath and the Early Solvay Councils which charts the seven Solvay Councils between 1911-1933. The sixth and seventh councils were chaired by Paul Langevin, another eminent physicist with strong connections to EDP Sciences. “The book focuses on the personal relations between the physicists who actively participated in the quantum revolution. These relations came under great strain during the Great War, but the Councils survived thanks to Lorentz’s and Solvay’s faith in the universality of science.” Find out more.

Looking forward in time, we can’t wait to meet many of you at the EPS Forum in June which will soon be with us. Wishing you all the best until then.
