AIP Publishing, the American Physical Society and IOP Publishing create new ‘Purpose-Led Publishing’ coalition

AIP Publishing, the American Physical Society, and IOP Publishing have joined forces to create Purpose-Led Publishing (PLP), a new coalition with a promise to always put purpose above profit.

The three scholarly publishers are united by their not-for-profit status, with all the funds made from publishing going back into the research ecosystem. As members of PLP, the publishers have defined a set of industry standards that underpin high-quality, ethical scholarly communications.
