Sunnyvale, CA, and College Park, MD - DeepDyve and the American Physical Society (APS) jointly announced today that APS has agreed to make its articles available, in a nine-month pilot program, via DeepDyve’s online rental service for research articles. Widely acknowledged as a leading voice for physics and an authoritative source of physics information, APS will enrich DeepDyve’s library of content with a wealth of physics-related journals and other scholarly publications.

“American Physical Society publishes a catalog of very well-respected journals, and we’re pleased that APS has chosen to partner with DeepDyve,” said William Park, CEO at DeepDyve. “We look forward to a mutually beneficial relationship, rooted in our shared commitment to deliver premium content to our users.”

APS publishes leading physics research journals including Physical Review Letters, Reviews of Modern Physics, Physical Review, and two open access Special Topics journals. These world-renowned titles embody the objective of the Society "to advance and diffuse the knowledge of physics." Under the terms of the agreement, APS will add nearly 500,000 articles to DeepDyve’s rental service.

“We are pleased to partner with DeepDyve, to provide our content to wider audiences in a new and innovative manner,” said Robert Kelly, Director Journal Information Systems at American Physical Society. “This pilot program, in effect through July 2011, will broaden the reach of our content beyond the disciplines of physics that we traditionally serve, and enable our ability to serve other scientific communities.”
