22.3 APPROVAL OF PAC AND CI
SUBSCRIPTION RATES FOR 2000
Dr. Warr discussed the considerations that had led the Committee
to recommend the price structure shown below for PAC
and CI.
Subscriptions Prices for IUPAC Publications
- 2000 |
Pure and Applied Chemistry
|
Institutional Subscription |
USD 1 166; one year |
|
USD 999; per year for three years |
Personal Subscription |
USD 99; one year |
Individual Copies |
USD 50 |
Chemistry International
|
Institutional Subscription |
USD 99; one year |
Personal Subscription |
USD 45; one year |
Individual Copies |
USD 15 |
The three year subscription option for Pure and Applied
Chemistry guarantees a subscription price of USD 999 per
year for a three year subscription commitment. Each year will
be billed separately.
The price for PAC is the same as it was for 1999, while
that for CI is a reduction. The introduction of the three
year option will allow the Union to generate some favorable
publicity and draw attention to its publication policies. CPEP
plans to issue a press release to draw attention to this dramatic
pricing move.
The suggestion was made that the ANAOs be given a free subscription
to PAC. This would help to make PAC more widely
available in developing and economically disadvantaged countries
and might make ANAO status more attractive. Dr. Becker suggested
that a free copy of CI might be supplied to each library
subscribing to PAC. The Executive Director was asked
to look at the costs of implementing these suggestions and to
consult CPEP for advice.
22.4 PLANS FOR SPECIAL ISSUES IN PURE
AND APPLIED CHEMISTRY
Dr. Jost reported that Prof. Bull in his discussions with the
PAC-EAB and CPEP had noted that two special issues were planned
for late 1999 or early 2000. The first was an outgrowth of WAM-1
while the second was a joint effort by Divisions III and VI
on sustainable chemistry. Prof. Bull has had discussions with
most of the Division Committees to encourage them to suggest
topics for future special issues. Prof. Fischli proposed that
a special issue might be published on the topic of Genetically
Modified Organisms as food sources.
22.5 SUPPLEMENT TO "HISTORY OF IUPAC"
Dr. Becker noted that the original suggestion for a supplement
had been made with a view to capturing the information available
at the Oxford Secretariat before operations were moved to North
Carolina. Prof. Stan Brown had produced a manuscript that took
the history of the Union through 1998. Considering the major
issues regarding the Union's organization and operations to
be decided at this General Assembly, it was now felt that the
Supplement should cover through 1999. It was planned to have
the Secretariat staff complete the manuscript for publication
in 2000.
