Abstract :
Hereafter, advance pamphlet copies of authors´ manuscripts of technical program papers, popularly known as “preprints,” will be available at the flat price of 30 cents per copy to members, 60 cents per copy to nonmembers, instead of at the sliding scale of prices heretofore prevailing on the basis of the physical size of the individual paper. Also, there has been a substantial reduction in the authorized free distribution of these papers. These actions were taken by the publication committee at its January meeting in Pittsburgh during the recent winter general meeting, in response to recommendations from the finance committee and the board of directors that this very specialized phase of AIEE publication services be made more nearly self-supporting.
