Journal of High Energy Astrophysics
The Journal of High Energy Astrophysics (JHEAP) is the first astrophysical journal that focuses on the study of the most energetic phenomena.Driven by observations conducted with unprecedented experimental facilities and satellites, the last few years have brought a plethora of historic results at the high-energy end of the electromagnetic spectrum, as well as breakthrough, first observations with neutrinos and gravitational waves.This scenario appeal to new theoretical efforts, altogether leading to a burst of new ideas, problems, and research directions.High-ener... astrophysics, a research field that connects astronomy, cosmology, and particle physics, will continue to expand in the next decades, boosted by forthcoming improvements in experimental detection precision.JHEAP seeks scientifically sound papers, and particularly those crossing strict specialization fields, attracting wide interest.The journal welcomes manuscripts on theoretical models, simulations, and observations of energetic astrophysical objects both in our Galaxy and beyond. Among those, black holes at all scales, neutron stars, pulsars and their nebula, magnetars, fast radio bursts, binaries, novae and supernovae, their remnants, active galaxies are just a few examples.The journal will consider research across the whole electromagnetic spectrum, as well as research using various messengers, such as gravitational waves or neutrinos.Effects of high-energy phenomena on cosmology and star-formation, results from dedicated surveys expanding the knowledge of extreme environments, and astrophysical implications of dark matter are also welcomed topics.The journal adopts the commonly used single blind peer review system, during which the reviewer names are kept anonymous while the author or collaboration name is disclosed to the reviewers. In addition, the journal introduces the possibility for papers to be refereed in a double-blind process, in order to ensure and promote quality. A dedicated reviewer pool, an active Editorial Board, a fast and traceable online submission procedure.Starting from October 2023, the journal implements a Letters column, which disseminates timely and impactful results in the field. There is no length limit to the Letters. A speed-up refereeing process (typically in 2 weeks) is reinforced. The authors have an option to choose Letters submission. The scientific editors will check its suitability to the Letters column and decide whether it is sent out for review as a Letter or a regular article.JHEAP has no page charges and has a delayed open access model, meaning that your article will automatically and without extra charge become open access after 12 months.All colour figures are free for the online version and a selection of printed colour figures costs may be waived at the Editor's discretion. JHEAP is indexed in all major systems such as Scopus, Web of Science and SAO/NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS).JHEAP only publishes professional, verifiable, and reproducible research and does not welcome articles just expressing personal opinions.

New Astronomy
New Astronomy aims to publish high quality articles in all areas of astronomy, from the solar system through cosmology, and in all wavelengths from radio to gamma-ray. New Astronomy actively encourages the submission of observational, experimental, theoretical, and numerical work, but it does not consider for publication physics papers for which there is no clear pathway for observational tests of the ideas proposed with current or reasonably conceivable future missions, observatories, and experiments. We encourage potential authors to write pre-submission inquiries to the Editor-in-Chief if they are unsure if their work is within the journal?s aims and scope.In addition to articles with original results, New Astronomy accepts regular reviews as well as focus reviews. These last are modest length (typically <20 pages) review articles that cover recent developments within a field, rather than providing comprehensive reviews of the entirety of the field.Proposals for special editions, for example as conference proceedings, sets of papers related to new missions, or on other topics are welcomed.

Physics Reports
A Review Section of Physics LettersThe 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,... 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 physrep-eo@elsevier.... , with a proposal of no more than 1000 words. You must specify which Editor should review your proposal (see Editorial Board).
