2 The scientists and engineers who read Physics Today are HIGHLY EDUCATED (74% PhD), multi-disciplinary, and primarily involved in CONDUCTING RESEARCH (84%). Source: Changing Dynamics in the Adoption of Research Technology, Akel & Associates, June WHY DO RESEARCHERS READ AND VALUE PHYSICS TODAY? Researchers MUST read journals to keep up in their field. Physics Today is refreshingly different for them. Our readers engage with each issue to find out what s going on in physics OUTSIDE their specialty. Like, what are their colleagues in other fields doing? What s different now about the research they did years ago in grad school? And so on. 87% are sought after for their ADVICE on products, systems, and vendors. have POSITIVE impressions of vendors who advertise in Today. 80%Physics You can piggy-back on this relationship by advertising regularly in print or online.

14 JOURNAL ARTICLE DOWNLOAD ADS In addition to Physics Today, AIP publishes 17 journals, some of which have the highest impact factors in their disciplines. AIP created a unique advertising opportunity by adding a cover page to the articles that researchers download (see the sample cover page at right, p. 15). When you purchase a 1-week ad in Journal X (say), your ad appears on every cover page attached to every article downloaded from Journal X that week. It s exclusive exposure that cannot be overlooked by this premium audience. Researchers spend 168 minutes each month reading AIP journal articles. Downloads vary greatly from journal to journal, ranging from 200/week to 67,000/week! That means there is a journal to fit every advertising budget ,000 DOWNLOADS PER WEEK 30% Asia 43% Europe 21% United States 6% Other 79 % work outside the United States Average age of researchers downloading journal articles = 37 years old 14 Signet Research, AIP Journals Reader Study, June 2012

15 GRAB the attention of researchers on the front page of the journal article they just downloaded! YOUR AD HERE! Article download ads are an ideal advertising medium because: The ads are clickable, trackable and 10 times larger than other online ads Your message is associated with the top journals in the field The cost to reach 1000 prospects (CPM) is less than typical print CPMs 15
