AIP Publishing’s new author license no longer requires authors to transfer their copyright

AIP Publishing's latest issue of Library Matters reports that
"this exclusive license enable authors to retain copyright and encourages them to post and share their accepted manuscripts immediately on acceptance.  At the same time, it grants AIP Publishing the rights it needs to publish their work."

More information about the license is available at https://publishing.aip.org/authors/author-license
