Committee on Scientific Publications
The Committee on Scientific Publications (CSP) advises the Editor in Chief (EIC) in defining guidelines and procedures for APS publications. The CSP also conducts periodic reviews of all the journals to ensure that they continue to meet the needs of the relevant community.
The membership of the CSP includes the EIC, the CEO (non-voting), CPO (non-voting), Executive Editor (non-voting), one (1) Board member selected by the Board Executive Committee (BEC) and appointed by the President-Elect to a three (3) year term, at least three (3) members nominated by the Board and appointed by the President-Elect to staggered three (3) year terms, and up to three (3) external publishing experts selected by the EIC, confirmed by the BEC, and appointed by the President-Elect. The external experts are not required to be members of the APS and they serve at the pleasure of the committee Chair. The Past-EIC serves as a non-voting advisor for one (1) year immediately following their term as EIC. The EIC chairs the committee.
The CSP is an advisory Board Committee.
