AIP in 1983

Both the American Institute of Physics and its Member Societies will remember 1983 as a year of positive trends: Total Society memberships are up; journal subscription income and published pages are holding their own; and total AIP net income is up. As a result, it became possible to reduce page charges for AIP‐owned primary journals by $20 per page. This major step—the first such reduction ever for AIP—is intended to make the journals even more attractive to authors than before, and thereby to enable AIP to do a better job of serving the physics and astronomy community at large.
