Creating Links

To create a link to your article, please find its CrossRef digital object identifier on the article’s abstract page and format the URL like this: https://doi.org/digital_object_identifier

For example, to link to G. A. Gibson et al., Appl. Phys. Lett. 86, 051902 (2005), you would format the URL as: https://doi.org/10.1063/1.1856690 — and the entire citation would appear as:
G. A. Gibson et al., Appl. Phys. Lett. 86, 051902 (2005) https://doi.org/10.1063/1.1856690

Self-archiving information for Plan S compliance

  • For articles published in a subscription-based journal where the author has not chosen the Author Select open access option, the terms of AIP Publishing’s License to Publish Agreement govern the rights associated with the accepted manuscript and Version of Record.
  • Our self-archiving policy allows for the accepted manuscript to be shared immediately after acceptance without embargo, under our standard licensing terms.
  • Authors subject to Plan S compliance, which requires that a CC BY license be applied to the accepted manuscript, should elect the Author Select option to publish open access in one of our subscription-based journals, or publish in one of our gold open access titles.
