The journal Physics Reports publishes timely reviews which are more extensive than just literature surveys but normally less than a full monograph. Each report deals with one specific subject and is generally published in a separate volume. These reviews are specialist in nature but contain enough introductory material to make the main points intelligible to a non-specialist. The reader will not only be able to distinguish important developments and trends in physics but will also find a sufficient number of references to the original literature.
Starting in 2025, Physics Reports will inaugurate a new "Rapid Reviews” section. Rapid Reviews are intended to be shorter reviews, which can be completed more quickly (on order three months) than regular reviews, on exciting new subjects. They are intended to reach a broader audience but go into less technical detail than a regular Physics Reports review. The target length is on order 20 pages (as opposed to regular reviews, which are intended to be more than 50 journal pages) and the reviews are intended to allow more in the way of editorializing than regular articles, which are intended to be more balanced, complete, and pedagogical. We aim to publish one such Rapid Review per month.
The topics covered by the journal include but are not limited to:
Astrophysics and Cosmology,
Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics,
Biological Physics,
Condensed Matter Physics,
High Energy Physics,
Nanoscience,
Non-Linear Dynamics and Complex Systems,
Nuclear Physics and Hadronic Physics,
Plasma Physics,
Statistical Physics.
Submission of articles to Physics Reports is by invitation only; unsolicited submissions cannot be accepted. Should you feel that you have a topic suitable for publication in one of the sections in this journal, please contact our Editorial Office [email protected] , with a proposal of no more than 1000 words. You must specify which Editor should review your proposal (see Editorial Board).
