"Melville, NY, January 5, 2018 – AIP Publishing announced today the
elimination of publication page charges and color charges, as of
January 1, 2018, for all of the organization’s journals, including
Physics of Plasmas, Review of Scientific Instruments, and 10 other
prominent peer-reviewed physical science titles. The company’s
decision followed an assessment of the global publishing landscape,
which found that the charges represented potential barriers to some
researchers, and no longer serve the AIP Publishing non-profit
mission. Two prominent AIP Publishing titles, Journal of Applied
Physics and Applied Physics Letters, ceased levying publication page
charges in June 2017.

"Removing these charges is the latest in a series of AIP Publishing
policy initiatives to accommodate emerging shifts in scholarly
communication. In 2016 the company adapted its licensing policies so
that authors retain copyright of their work, and can share author
manuscripts, without embargo, upon acceptance into an AIP Publishing
journal."
