Researchers will soon encounter a change in how they access issues of Physical Review Applied, as the American Physical Society transitions its member subscription login process. Access to the online version of the International Standard Serial Number, or ISSN, is now available through a direct APS member subscription, offering a streamlined pathway for those with existing memberships. Starting August 1, subscribers will need to utilize their member credentials rather than previously used APS Journal Account logins to view content. This shift reflects the journal’s established status; Physical Review Applied is a registered trademark of the American Physical Society in the United States, and the society ensures continued access through updated authentication methods.
Access Requirements for Physical Review Applied
A shift in authentication protocols will soon impact access to Physical Review Applied. While institutional access via Shibboleth and OpenAthens remains available, the American Physical Society is streamlining login procedures for its direct subscribers, and access to the online ISSN is now facilitated through APS member subscriptions. This adjustment aims to consolidate access points for readers, according to the APS, and ensures continued delivery of peer-reviewed physics research. The society notes that APS member subscribers will need to log in using their member credentials instead of their APS Journal Account, signaling a move towards unified account management. Further information regarding registration procedures is available on the APS website, providing clarity for both authors and institutions.
APS Journal Account & Institutional Login Options
Access to scholarly articles published in Physical Review Applied is undergoing refinement, with a focus on streamlining authentication procedures for readers. Currently, users can utilize institutional logins via systems like Shibboleth or OpenAthens, or through existing credentials linked to an APS Journals Account; however, a change is scheduled to consolidate these pathways. This adjustment intends to simplify the login process and ensure consistent access across all American Physical Society publications, including those with an ISSN (online) component now available through APS member subscriptions. According to the APS, information about registration may be found on their website, directing users to resources for navigating the updated system. These changes are designed to provide a more unified and secure experience for accessing peer-reviewed research.
