How is The Physics Archive different from the Physical Review Online Archive (PROLA)?
Since its inception, PROLA has been an Access Only model, designed to grant broadest access to APS’s earliest research. Based on feedback from our clients, we also created The Physics Archive: a true one-time purchase product that your library can own.
Will there be any changes to PROLA?
There will be no changes to PROLA at this time. As PROLA's subscription model evolves to focus on supporting Open Science, APS will review PROLA in the context of our sustainability and the research community's needs over time. Any potential future change would be communicated to our clients and patrons well in advance.
Hundreds of contributions from Maria Goeppert Mayer, whose work on nuclear physics earned the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1963.
Albert Einstein
"Can Quantum-Mechanical Description of Physical Reality Be Considered Complete?" with Boris Podolsky and Nathan Rosen, published in Physical Review in 1935, among many others.
