• APS Annual Meeting: 27 February–2 March—Are you attending this year’s annual APS March meeting? AIP is, and we’re hosting a full schedule of fun starting Sunday evening. Stop by our booth (#101) to compete for XBox dominance and prizes, sign up for important AIP updates with the chance at an iPad 2, and get invitations to exclusive AIP events that week. We hope to see you all there! (1 February 2012)
• AIP Publishing unveils new high profile cover design for its portfolio of journals—For more information and to preview the new AIP journal covers, visit: journals.aip.org. (10 January 2012)
• Congratulations to POF editor, L. Gary Leal, elected in 2011 to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. (20 December 2011)

• AIP online journals offer MathJax to display mathematics
  AIP has partnered with MathJax, an open-source JavaScript display engine that produces high-quality math in all modern browsers, without special set-up requirements. In addition to higher-quality, cross-platform, browser-agnostic equation rendering, readers of AIP online journals can now copy equations from journal articles and paste them directly into text editors like Word, LaTeX, MathType, and research wikis, as well as into calculation software like Maple, Mathematica, and others.
  To see MathJax in action, visit your favorite Physics of Fluids article and select the Read Online option. Once in the HTML view, go to the navigation bar and turn on MathJax. From there you can copy and paste any equation into your favorite MathML-enabled editor.
  Watch the video. (30 November 2011)
• Physics of Fluids is adding new features in the journal website: Check out the “Most Read” and “Most Cited” in the journal homepage to find out the most downloaded articles for the month and papers that are most highly cited by other scientific researchers. (28 November 2011)
• AIP Publishing booth #14 at APS DFD Meeting 20–22 November, Baltimore, MD. Visit the AIP Publishing booth to find out about new developments in Physics of Fluids and the rest of our highly-respected, highly-cited journals. While you’re there, sign up for ToC alerts and enter to win an iPod Nano! (27 October 2011)
• Physics of Fluids changing to one column format——As of the January 2012 issue, Physics of Fluids is changing from the two column format that has been used since the founding of the journal, to a single column format. We are doing this primarily because we recognize that an increasing number of readers read the papers online, and for this the single-column format is much more convenient. The page limitations for Letters and for other papers that are limited in length will be adjusted to account for the decrease in information on each page. Please refer to the instructions for authors. We hope that this new format will be received positively by our community of readers and authors.

  © ® The Nobel Foundation.
    The American Institute of Physics congratulates this year's Nobel Laureates in Physics “for the discovery of the accelerating expansion of the Universe through observations of distant supernovae.” Sharing half the prize is Saul Perlmutter from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and University of California, Berkeley. Sharing the other half jointly are Brian P. Schmidt from the Australian National University, and Adam G. Riess from Johns Hopkins University and Space Telescope Science Institute. (4 October 2011)
• Increase in impact for Physics of Fluids—Journal metrics just released by Thomson Reuters*, show a 5% increase in Impact Factor for Physics of Fluids (PoF) in 2010 compared to 2009. PoF’s 2010 Impact Factor is 1.722 and the journal is ranked third in both the Physics, Fluids & Plasmas and Mechanics categories by total citations. Read more

• AIP Chinese language site launched: Celebrating the one-year anniversary of the opening of its Beijing office, AIP has launched a Chinese-language version of its website, which gives Chinese researchers access to critical information about AIP in their own language. Read more (17 June 2011)
• Did you know…?—It is now possible to transfer manuscripts between AIP journals*.
  If you feel that your manuscript would be appropriate for publication in another of AIP's journals you may request a transfer by email to the handling journal editorial office. (9 May 2011)
