Journal of Fluid Mechanics Digital Archive 1956-1996 goes live

Cambridge University Press has announced that every issue of the 
Journal of Fluid Mechanics is now online.  One of Cambridge's 
most successful journals has had its first four decades of 
issues, estimated at 200,000 pages, digitised and made available 
online.

The Journal of Fluid Mechanics has presented authoritative 
articles on fundamental aspects of fluid mechanics, and their 
applications to other many fields such as aeronautics, 
astrophysics, biology, hydraulics, meteorology, oceanography, 
geology, acoustics and combustion.

Geoff Nuttall, Editorial Director at Cambridge University Press 
Journals: "This is a marvellous achievement and a tremendous 
repository of knowledge containing every article from 1956 to 
1996.  Articles from 1997 onwards were already available through 
Cambridge Journals Online so the complete journal is now 
accessible digitally."

Journal of Fluid Mechanics editors, S H Davis and T J Pedley 
added; "The progress made over the last 50 years has been 
astonishing, attracting to the field an enormous array of 
talented scientists and engineers worldwide.  These brilliant 
people have been attracted because of the beauty of the subject, 
its visual allure and complexity."

The archive is hosted on the Cambridge Journals platform and is 
accessible by IP range, username and password, ATHENS, Shibboleth 
and referred URL. It has COUNTER 2 compliant usage statistics and 
all references are linked via CrossRef and Google Scholar.
