WG.2: Communication in Physics
This group has been reconstituted to consider the problems that are emerging in electron publishing. It particularly will consider internet availability/ reliability, linking between societies and publishers, availability of electronic communication in isolated areas, archiving, peer review, and intellectual property.
Charge to Working Group:
It is the primary mission of the working group to make a set of recommendations on important issues in the international aspects of physics communication, especially electronic publication, that are appropriate for IUPAP action.
