Making Articles Publicly Accessible After Publication

AIP Publishing also supports green Open Access, which allows you to self-archive a version of your article in an institutional or subject repository, such as arXiv, immediately upon acceptance.

CHORUS Initiative

AIP Publishing, through participation in the CHORUS initiative, makes publicly available the Accepted Manuscript version of an article in response to government or funder requirements. Accepted Manuscripts are licensed under AIP Publishing’s License to Publish Agreement, unless otherwise mandated and indicated in the article.

Scholarly Collaboration Networks (SCNs)
