What is Scitation?
Scitation is the re-launch of the Online Journal Publishing Service (OJPS), a leader in online sci-tech publishing and journal hosting since 1996. The name “Scitation” was chosen because it more accurately describes the platform’s services to the scholarly community. The new name conveys three important messages: • the platform’s strength in science and engineering • AIP’s leadership in reference linking, both forward and backward • the expanded scope of online products and services hosted on the platform, including • conference proceedings • virtual journals LINK • magazines • standards • storefronts with rich e-commerce features LINK to store • online portal sites • almost 600,000 journal articles Regarding the infrastructure for Scitation’s comprehensive reference-linking capability, author-supplied references are edited and then checked against a database of over 12 million reference citations. This rigorous lookup and vetting process ensures accurate and complete reference tagging
