IOP Publishing

IOP Publishing is a not for profit publisher wholly owned by the Institute of Physics

The Institute of Physics is a leading international professional body and learned society, established to promote the advancement and dissemination of a knowledge of, and education in the science of physics, pure and applied. The Institute has a world-wide membership and is a major international force in:
  • scientific publishing and the electronic dissemination of physics;
  • setting professional standards for physicists and awarding professional qualifications;
  • promoting physics through scientific conferences, education and science policy advice.

One of the largest and most dynamic publishers of physics information in the world, IOP today publishes over 50 journals, magazines and community websites. Since the launch of its electronic service at the beginning of 1996, over 5,000 institutions and organizations in 120 countries have subscribed to IOP's journals, and over 80% have registered for the electronic journals service.

IOP tutorial

IOP has created a new visual tutorial designed to guide staff and/or users through the features of IOP Electronic Journals. The IOP tutorial provides a concise overview of creating, refining searches, of analyzing search results. It presents also an overview of the multimedia enhancements, and details about user options.
