AGU Journals Online

In January, the American Geophysical Union began publishing online all of the peer-reviewed research articles that had previously appeared only in bimonthly, monthly, or quarterly printed journals. The print version remains available, but the online articles are the official record for citation purposes. Articles are uploaded on a daily basis, allowing for fast access to new geophysical research. The online version also includes content not available in print, such as videos, databases, and animations. “A big difference between AGU and other societies is that a lot of our members are interested in articles that can be found in one or more of the 27 topic areas from AGU journals,” says Judy Holoviak, AGU deputy executive director. “Not only can they [members] access any AGU journal,” she adds, “but now they have the option to customize what articles they receive, which would have been economically impossible in print.” More information concerning costs and availability can be found online at http://www.agu.org/pubs/agu_jour.html .
