The Editors reserve the rights to reject, with or without external review, papers that do not meet these criteria. This could include papers that are very similar to previous publications, or that are out of scope, such as concentrated mostly on very theoretical developments with few direct immediate observational consequences, mathematical physics, modified gravity, etc, or lacking a direct connection to either astro- or particle physics.Astroparticle Physics may consider the publication of scientific mission proposal papers. The Editors will jointly decide on the suitability of such papers for the journal. Authors are advised to contact one of the Editors directly to discuss proposals https://www.journals.elsevier.com/astroparticle-physics/editorial-board/. The journal inbox is [email protected].

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.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, , with a proposal of no more than 1000 words. You must specify which Editor should review your proposal (see Editorial Board).
Physics of the Dark Universe is a hybrid journal which aims to provide a flexible platform for the publication of peer reviewed articles in various formats within the fields of Dark Matter, Dark Energy, Early Universe, Gravitational waves and Neutrinos, covering all theoretical, experimental and phenomenological aspects.
The Journal welcomes submissions for articles in the following sections:
Dark Matter:
Models for the cosmological dark matter, including, but not limited to, particle-like, wave-like, black holes;
Experimental and observational probes
Dark Energy:
Models and theoretical scenarios related to the late-time cosmic acceleration;
Observations and experimental results;
Forecast and design of new experiments
Early Universe:
Models and observational tests of the pre-recombination Universe, including but not limited to inflation
Early universe probes of fundamental physics
Dark Messengers:
Multiwavelength/multi messenger astrophysics, including but not limited to: Gravitational waves; Cosmic rays; Dark-sector particles and fields; Black hole-related observations (e.g. black hole shadows)
Software Description and Manuals can also be published, if the software is proved to have scientific interest in the understanding of Dark Matter and Dark Energy. The paper can be enriched with (part of) the code itself, or the software and code can be separately published in the Open Access journal SoftwareX (https://www.journals.elsevier.com/softwarex/), which hosts software in a curated GitHub Repository.
The journal gives authors a platform to showcase their best research in a flexible journal that supports a variety of peer-reviewed article types: short communications, full length articles, letters, review articles, reports, selected articles from conferences (conference proceedings), workshops, invited perspectives, editor's choice, white papers of new experiments and special issues.
For more information about Special issues publication please contact our Content Acquisition Specialist and Publisher.
Note: Please note that for submissions on modified theories of gravity and black hole thermodynamics, we will only consider for peer review those deemed of exceptional impact, with novel, relevant, and impactful results. These restrictions apply in particular to f()-type models of gravity, dynamical systems analyses of modified gravity models, and cosmological tests of modified gravity models based only data sensitive to the background expansion (as opposed to perturbations).
Taking the format of four issues per year, the journal aims to discuss new developments in the field at a level suitable for the general nuclear and particle physicist and, in greater technical depth, to explore the most important advances in these areas. Most of the articles will be in one of the fields of nuclear physics, hadron physics, heavy ion physics, particle physics, as well as astrophysics and cosmology. A particular effort is made to treat topics of an interface type for which both particle and nuclear physics are important. Related topics such as detector physics, accelerator physics or the application of nuclear physics in the medical and archaeological fields will also be treated from time to time.If this journal is a good fit for your review article, you can find out more via the Guide for Authors and submit using the LaTeX template.

The Journal for Radiation Physics, Radiation Chemistry and Radiation Processing A multidisciplinary journal linking science and industryRadiation Physics and Chemistry is a multidisciplinary journal that provides a medium for publication of substantial and original papers, reviews, and short communications which focus on research and developments involving ionizing radiation in radiation physics, radiation chemistry and radiation processing.Radiation Physics and Chemistry aims to publish articles with significance to an international audience, containing substantial novelty and contributions to science. We expect that articles present new insight or hypothesis testing, that they focus on radiation effects or applications of ionizing radiation, provide uncertainties and statistical analysis where relevant, and present their findings in context with discussion of past and recent literature. The editors reserve the right to reject, with or without external review, articles which do not meet these criteria. This could include articles which are very similar to previous publications, except that target substrates, materials, analyzed sites or experimental methods have been changed.A fuller though not exhaustive list of topics that are considered for publication include:Radiation PhysicsFundamental processes in radiation physics • Interaction mechanisms for example scattering and absorption of photon and particle radiations • Attenuation coefficients • X-ray fluorescence • Cherenkov effect • Polarization • Effects of periodic structures (Bragg diffraction, channelling, parametric x-radiation, etc) • Mathematical methods in radiation physics, reference dataRadiation sources and detectors • Accelerator and radionuclide spectra and other properties • Radiation fields from point and extended sources • Detector response functions • Basic physics of Dosimetry • Radiation transport • Buildup factorsRadiation Chemistry• Ionizing radiation induced ionic and radical reactions • Kinetics and mechanism of radiolysis reactions • Pulse radiolysis technique and measurements • Nanoparticle production by ionizing radiation • Radiation induced chain reactions, polymerization • Irradiation effects on polymers • Dose and dose rate effects • LET effects on chemical reactions • Pollutant removal by ionizing radiation • Computational models on radiation chemical reactionsPapers on photochemistry, microwave chemistry and thermochemistry are believed to belong to the scope of RPC only if they have strong relevance to radiation chemistry. EPR papers will only be considered for publication when the method is used for clarifying radiation chemical processes, e.g. by determining the nature of the transient intermediates. Radiochemistry papers such as tracer technique, radon or other radionuclide measurements, isotopic constitutions fall outside the scope of the journal.Radiation ProcessingRadiation Sterilization • Microbiology • Toxicology • Biocompatibility • ValidationFood irradiation • Microbiological quality • Chemical effects • Nutrition • Detection induced radioactivityPolymers • Synthesis • Polymerization • Curing • Grafting • Crosslinking • Degradation • CompositesEnvironmental • Effluent gas • Waste water • Water purification • Toxin reduction • Sludge • Recycling of wastesRadiation effects • Semiconductors • Gemstones • Crystals • CeramicsDosimetry and process control • Dosimeter systems • Analytical instrumentation • Environmental influence • Measurement uncertaintyRadiation sources and facilities for radiation processing • Electron Accelerators • Gamma and x-ray facilities • Safety issues • Transport of radioisotopes
