Physics is traditionally the source discipline for new discoveries which have an impact on many other sciences. Video technology, medical diagnostic equipment, analytical instrumentation, laser technology and the World Wide Web are just a few examples of discoveries originating from within physics which have had a very wide impact on other sciences and beyond.
With the launch of the Physics backfiles on ScienceDirect, breakthrough research is electronically available at every researcher's fingertips, across interdisciplinary fields. Physics papers have a lasting effect: papers are cited for many years; the cited half-life for many physics titles is more than eight years and breakthrough papers are even cited over a number of decades! This reflects the important role that backfiles play in both the research and the education processes. Now for the first time, researchers can gain a deeper insight into how discoveries came about and can trace the thought-patterns of award-winning physicists.
