The American Institute of Physics (AIP) promotes science and the profession of physics, publishes physics journals, and produces publications for scientific and engineering societies. The AIP is made up of various member societies. Its corporate headquarters are at the American Center for Physics in College Park, Maryland, but the institute also has offices in Melville, New York, and Beijing.[1]
Historical overview
The AIP was founded in 1931 as a response to lack of funding for the sciences during the Great Depression.[3] It formally incorporated in 1932 consisting of five original "member societies", and a total of four thousand members. A new set of member societies was added beginning in the mid-1960s. As soon as the AIP was established it began publishing scientific journals.[4]

List of publications
The AIP has a subsidiary called AIP Publishing (wholly owned non-profit) dedicated to scholarly publishing by the AIP and its member societies, as well on behalf of other partners.[5]
AIP style
AIP created a manual of style first introduced in 1951, called AIP style, which also includes the AIP citation format.[6] It is the most commonly used style and citation format in physics publications.[7][8][9]
