13. It is interesting to know! Physical Journals

· In 1913, the APS (the American Physics Society) took over the operation of the Physical Review, which had been founded in 1893 at Cornell University. The Physical Review was followed by Reviews of Modern Physics in 1929, and by Physical Review Letters in 1958. Over the years, Physical Review has subdivided into five separate sections as the fields of physics proliferated and the number of submissions grew. The journals of the APS embody the mission of the Society “to advance and diffuse the knowledge of Physics.  We strive to produce journals of the highest quality, and at the same time, to keep our journals accessible to researchers and students at institutions of all types, everywhere in the world, through ongoing efforts to reduce production costs and through policies such as tiered pricing and reduced-price or free subscriptions for developing countries.”

· Virtual Journals (Physical Review) are online publications that collect relevant papers from a broad range of physical science journals. The present series of five Virtual Journals offers researchers quick, convenient access to the latest developments.

· Physics Today, the flagship publication of The American Institute of Physics, is the most influential and closely followed physics journal in the world, informing readers about science and its place in the world with authoritative features, full news coverage and analysis, and fresh perspectives on technological advances and ground-breaking research.

· Physics Today Online (www.physicstoday.org) serves as Physics Today's home on the Internet, presenting the journal's digital edition and continually building a valuable online archive. In addition, PTOL extends the journal's coverage of the physical sciences with links to related articles and news stories from around the web.

14. Write an abstract of an article to one of on-line engineering journals:

“Журнал технической физики”  − один из старейших физических журналов России. Он был основан в 1931 году академиком А.Ф.Иоффе и по своему содержанию с самого начала служил аналогом американского Journal of Applie dPhysics , основанного одновременно. С момента организации журнала его лицо многократно изменялось в соответствии с бурным развитием физики в нашем веке. Несмотря на образование, в том числе и на базе ЖТФ, ряда специализированных журналов (“Физика твердого тела”, “Физика и техника полупроводников”,  “Письма в ЖТФ”, “Радиотехника и электроника”, “Физика плазмы”, “Квантовая электроника” и др.) все разделы современной прикладной физики, которым посвящены эти журналы, находят отражение и на страницах ЖТФ. Традиционным для журнала является раздел "Теоретическая и математическая физика". Значительное место уделяется исследованиям физики поверхности, атомной и молекулярной физике, различным свойствам материалов. Систематически публикуются результаты работ по созданию новых приборов и развитию методики физического эксперимента. В настоящее время номера журнала на русском и английском языках ежемесячно выходят в свет одновременно.
