SciPost Journals

We are currently active in the field of Physics, but do peruse our plans to expand to other fields.

All our Journals focus on top-quality science, and implement Genuine Open Access. Publishing with SciPost means that you automatically fulfil (and even surpass) your mandated Open Access requirements, while being relieved of any author-facing charges or other administrative burdens.

SciPost Selections  New!

SciPost Selections publishes extended abstracts of selected publications appearing in one of our top-level field-specific Journals, which have been identified by the Editorial College as being worthy of special distinction.

SciPost Selections is thus the venue to follow in order to stay up-to-date with frontline research in all fields of science.

Authors cannot submit directly to this Journal: publication of an extended abstract in SciPost Selections accompanies publication of the main paper in the field-specific Journal. Both published objects carry their own DOI and are to be cited in tandem.

Inclusion in SciPost Selections represents the highest mark of scholarship recognition attainable at SciPost, and is accompanied by special attention in our distribution and media channels.


Physics Journals

If you are a professional researcher in Physics, irrespective of your area of specialization, then our family of Physics Journals is designed to cover all your publishing requirements.

We offer different venues for different types of material; for research results, we also offer a gradation in terms of significance and editorial requirements.

Of course, publishing in any of our Journals automatically fulfils all your Open Access mandates, even the most demanding ones.

For Lecture Notes, Proceedings or Codebases, the names say it all without ambiguity.

But what about your research results? Ask yourself these two questions:

  • Are these results exceptional in nature, in the sense that they represent a breakthrough or an achievement which clearly stands out?
  • Are you willing to make a special effort in conveying these results, in meeting the highest submission standards which we require, and in responding/reacting to any points raised under our toughest refereeing protocol?

If you answered both questions in the affirmative, then consider submitting to SciPost Physics.

On the other hand, if your results represent a significant advance but you desire a simpler submission and refereeing process, then SciPost Physics Commons will provide you with a more streamlined experience.

SciPost Physics is our top-level flagship title in the field of Physics.

Do you have a groundbreaking result? Are you willing to polish up your manuscript to the very highest achievable standards? Then this is the venue you should consider.

SciPost Physics imposes the tightest demands on submission content and quality, and implements our most stringent form of peer-witnessed refereeing.

An Editorially-selected minority of submissions demonstrating top-level scholarship have their extended abstracts published separately in SciPost Selections.

SciPost Physics has been awarded the DOAJ Seal from the Directory of Open Access Journals.

SciPost Physics Commons is a premium-quality refereed Journal for the general field of Physics.

All submissions undergo our peer-witnessed refereeing protocol, led by community professionals under the guidance of our Editorial College (Physics).

Publications in SciPost Physics Commons meet all Open Access requirements set by your institution and funding agency (even the most exacting), while remaining entirely free of author-facing charges.

SciPost Physics Commons is the Genuine Open Access, by-and-for professional scientists publishing venue for all your significant research advances.

SciPost Physics Lecture Notes publishes didactic material in all domains and subject areas of Physics.

SciPost Physics Lecture Notes is the ideal venue for research-level didactic material, (post-)graduate course notes, or for lecture notes from international-level schools.

All submissions undergo an extended peer-witnessed refereeing process, and publications benefit from all the advantages of our Genuine Open Access standards.

SciPost Physics Proceedings is a premium-quality, two-way open access, community-run peer-witnessed refereed publishing venue for conference/workshop/school proceedings in Experimental, Theoretical and Computational physics, in all specializations.

Interested in setting up a Proceedings Issue? Contact our proceedings administrators.

SciPost Physics Codebases is an innovative peer-reviewed publication venue for modern forms of scientific contributions which too often remain unrecognized: codes and algorithms at the heart of contemporary research.

This Journal offers proper recognition for code authors, in the form of fully-fledged citable publications.

Submissions undergo stringent peer-witnessed refereeing, with criteria tailored for this type of content.
