收到 AIP 一个 email 说：

AIP has recently expanded our Author Select open access initiative to include all eight AIP journals . Through this option, AIP offers journal authors the opportunity to make their newly published AIP journal articles freely available online in perpetuity via payment of the Author Select fee. For both APL and JAP this fee is $1,800. 详细信息

这应该是个好事。但我怀疑，有多少人会用这个选项。AIP 是允许作者在自己的主页和其它免费的档案站点上存放论文的，放在 AIP 可能效果更好一点，但，$1,800，这值得么？：）

AIP 的相关政策：

– AIP grants authors the right to post their own versions of their journal articles on any freely available website.
– AIP grants authors the right to post the AIP-prepared version of their published journal articles on their own websites and their employers’ websites.
– AIP allows posting of journal articles reporting NIH-funded research on PubMed Central with a 12-month embargo, or sooner if Author Select fees are paid; upon request, AIP will help facilitate the transmission of such articles to NIH.
