BPS Advisory Board Shapes eBooks Program The BPS-IOP Editorial Advisory Board (EAB) recently held their second in-person meeting to discuss furthering the new ebooks program. BPS and IOP Publishing entered into a partnership earlier this year to create a library of ebooks for the biophysics community. Books will range from short monographs, manuals and handbooks, to reviews, textbooks, and longer monographs. The initial role of the Editorial Advisory Board is to define the aims and scope of the collection, including subject coverage, types and level of publications. The ebooks EAB guides the direc- tion and growth of the book collection and builds a list of target topics, book titles, and authors for the commissioning editor to act upon. Using their subject knowledge, contacts, and understanding of the needs of the biophysics community, members of the EAB also play a key role in evaluating book proposals.
