• Medical Physics Journal to End Print in 2024
  The Medical Physics journal inaugural issue was published in print in 1974 and has continued to be published in hard copy through 2023—for 50 years. The journal developed an online version in the late 1990s, and in fact most readers now access the content of the journal online. The declining utility of the hard copy journal, combined with the steady reduction in print advertising revenue, and a recognition of the environmental impact of printing and mailing thousands of copies each month led leaders of AAPM to discontinue the printing of Medical Physics.
