AIP and IEEE publishing project

In its first joint publishing venture, the American Institute of Physics has collaborated with the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers in preparing the October issues of Applied Optics and Proc. IEEE. Both journals contained identical papers on the theme of optical electronics, with some 120 pages devoted to invited survey articles on laser applications. IEEE was responsible for all editorial work and type composition, and each journal printed and distributed its own copies and carried its own advertising. The two feature editors for the project were Donald R. Herriott of Applied Optics and Ivan P. Kaminow of Proc. IEEE.
