The AIP Executive is currently examining the possibility of resurrecting the Australian Journal of Physics. Electronic access to journals has apparently led to a resurgence of interest in national publications as they no longer rely on the holdings of local libraries for their access and citation statistics. We have been approached by an international publisher with an interest in producing the Australian Journal of Physics and have requested a formal proposal from them. One possible concept at this stage is to broaden the role of the journal to focus more on the publication of domestic conference proceedings. However, we would welcome comment on this issue from the Australian physics community.
