Physics Resources for China
As part of our efforts to serve as a welcoming hub for the global physics community, APS provides resources to deepen international engagement among physicists worldwide.
Price accessibility
We provide pricing for our meetings, journals, and memberships to ensure financial concerns are never a barrier to participation, allowing more physicists to connect with their peers around the world.
APS offers accessible pricing to remove barriers to attendance for scientists in lower-income countries.
Researchers at thousands of institutions can get free or reduced-cost access to read and publish in APS journals.
Explore APS membership opportunities and benefits for physicists outside the United States.
APS and other professional physics organizations around the world maintain agreements to share membership privileges.
Upcoming events and webinars
The APS Global Physics Summit creates connections at every scale by uniting 14,000 scientists across all disciplines of physics.
APS Global Physics Summit 2028 is taking place on March 12 - 17, 2028 in Chicago, IL.
Watch recent webinars
Accelerator Driven Systems (ADS) could revolutionize nuclear waste management by transmuting highly radioactive waste. This talk explores ADS technology and its role in global decarbonization efforts.
Concerns over research espionage by China are leading to hundreds of investigations into US researchers, nearly all of them of Chinese national origin.
Federal scrutiny of scientific collaboration with China increased, resulting in more demands for disclosure and arrests, especially under the Trump administration's China Initiative. APS aims to address resulting challenges collaboratively.
APS Editorial Webinar
APS Editorial Office: Partnering to offer webinars/seminars to young physicists on writing, reviewing, and publishing scientific journal articles
In 2020, APS Head of Editorial Development Warren Lin, along with colleagues in the APS Editorial Offices in Ridge, New York, partnered with the Chinese Physical Society (CPS) to host an APS-CPS Author-Referee Tutorial Webinar. The webinar covered different writing methods for peer-reviewed scientific papers and tips for improving writing skills. It also provided information about the submission and review process for APS' Physical Review journals.
