Panel Discussion: APS Publishing, Present and Future

Abstract

This panel discussion will consist of a set of short presentations covering issues relevant to publication in the APS journals, including the concept of ``significant'' new physics, followed by questions and comments from the audience. The editors will comment on the identification of ``significance'' and its role in the editorial process, past, present, and future. There will be a brief ``State of the Journals'' address by APS Editor-in-Chief, Gene Sprouse, and statements of key issues facing the journals, by their editors. There will also be an introduction to the new APS publication Physics by its Editor, David Voss. The questions and comments section will be moderated by the Editor-in-Chief.
