U. van Amsterdam/Institute of Physics becomes Supporting Partner

1 August 2017 

SciPost is very happy to announce that the University of Amsterdam, via its Institute of Physics, has become a Supporting Partner and provided a generous €10 000 contribution to help finance our activities. Based on current estimates, this is sufficient to cover the whole submission and publication process for more than 30 articles.

SciPost is extremely thankful for these crucial funds, which we hope will inspire other beneficiaries of our activities to also back our cost-slashing funding model and join our Supporting Partners Board.

SciPost Physics linked in Google Scholar

19 July 2017 

We are extremely pleased to announce that Google Scholar now provides indexing and direct linking to publications in SciPost Physics.

New papers are now seamlessly included in the index shortly after publication. Early publications from Volume 1 will be included and directly linked at the next index rebuild by Google later this year (they are currently linked through their arXiv identifier).

With this, SciPost reaches a major milestone in graduating to a fully mature publishing entity. We wish our pioneering and future authors all the citations and recognition they deserve.

Citable Reports, Replies and Comments

24 April 2017 

SciPost's peer-witnessed refereeing process is rapidly gaining recognition as a top-quality, stringent yet constructive and useful way of implementing peer review. In order to further stimulate our referees and authors to do a professional and timely job, we will from now on provide a citable DOI to the publicly-visible Reports, Author Replies and Contributor Comments, provided the College judges those to be of sufficiently high quality. The work you put into Reports, Replies and Comments will thus find its proper place in the citable scientific record.

Launch of SciPost Physics Proceedings

18 April 2017 

Following community requests, we have launched a new Journal for Physics: SciPost Physics Proceedings.

This new Journal aims at providing a high-quality, openly accessible publishing venue for conference/workshop/school proceedings. It follows SciPost's core principles of two-way open access and peer-witnessed refereeing.
