MSP

We be­lieve sci­entif­ic pub­lish­ing should be an in­dustry that helps rather than hinders schol­arly activ­ity. High-qual­ity re­search de­mands high-qual­ity com­mu­nic­a­tion — widely, rap­idly and eas­ily ac­cess­ible to all — and MSP works to fa­cil­it­ate it.

MSP, Pro­ject Eu­c­lid, and Duke Uni­versity Press have partnered to of­fer MSP on Eu­c­lid, a col­lec­tion of the same sev­en journ­als pub­lished and sold as a bundle by MSP but now en­hanced by the func­tion­al­ity of the Pro­ject Eu­c­lid plat­form. MSP on Eu­c­lid is an al­tern­at­ive way of pur­chas­ing and ac­cess­ing this elec­tron­ic col­lec­tion of MSP titles, and is avail­able through our part­ners here. Or, vis­it our journ­als page for more de­tails.

We have re­cently launched Pub­liCast, a ser­vice that no­ti­fies read­ers of new re­search art­icles that we pub­lish. You can opt to be no­ti­fied by email when we pub­lish an art­icle in a sub­ject cat­egory of your choice, or in an MSP journ­al of your choice, or even when MSP pub­lishes an art­icle that cites your work. Please sign up at pub­licast.msp.org.

Pear­son (Ad­dis­on-Wes­ley) has con­trac­ted MSP to pre­pare a PDF e-book of the brand-new seg­ment of Don­ald E. Knuth’s mas­ter­piece, The Art of Com­puter Pro­gram­ming, namely the “middle-third of volume 4B”, called volume 4 fas­cicle 6: Sat­is­fiab­il­ity. MSP pre­pares faith­ful hy­per­linked PDF ver­sions, while Pear­son con­verts them to EPUB and oth­er formats.

Pre­vi­ously, MSP had pro­duced PDF e-book ver­sions of the oth­er volumes of The Art of Com­puter Pro­gram­ming: vol. 1: Fun­da­ment­al Al­gorithms,  vol. 1 fasc. 1: MMIX: A RISC Com­puter for the New Mil­len­ni­um,  vol. 2: Semi­n­u­mer­ic­al Al­gorithms,   vol. 3: Sort­ing and Search­ing  and  vol. 4A: Com­bin­at­or­i­al Al­gorithms (Part 1). MSP had also pro­duced a PDF e-book for Con­crete Math­em­at­ics: A Found­a­tion for Com­puter Sci­ence, by Ron­ald Gra­ham, Don­ald Knuth, and Oren Pa­ta­sh­nik.

The Spe­cial Lib­rar­ies As­so­ci­ation have honored Rob Kirby, the chief ex­ec­ut­ive of MSP, with their 2013 Phys­ics-As­tro­nomy-Math­em­at­ics Di­vi­sion Award:

Dr. Kirby’s sig­ni­fic­ant con­tri­bu­tions with MSP be­ne­fit lib­rar­ies and en­hance the abil­ity of lib­rar­i­ans to provide ser­vice, and im­prove the ex­change of in­form­a­tion.
