May 2006 Max Planck Society provides funding for the open-access New Journal of Physics In a move to open up access to scientific research, a new initiative will let German scientists publish their research for free in the New Journal of Physics, the online open-access journal jointly owned by the UK Institute of Physics and the Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft. The Max Planck Society will centrally pay the publication charge for NJP articles for all of its scientists who submit work to the journal before the end of NJP was one of the first open-access, electronic-only journals, publishing original research articles across the whole of physics. Free to read, it is funded solely by article publication charges. The journal has grown by more than 900% since 2001 and more than 40,000 of its articles are now downloaded each month. Its official impact factor has risen from in 2003 to a current value of
