AIP's Electronic Physics Auxiliary Publication Service (EPAPS) is primarily a depository for material that is supplementary to papers published in APS or other AIP-member-society and AIP-owned journals, but which is of too limited reader interest to warrant publishing in full in the journal. As an electronic depository, it can also include material that cannot at this time be integrated into the printed journal (e.g., movies).
