Aims

SciPost Physics Commons is a premium-quality, two-way open access, peer-witnessed refereed Journal for the general field of Physics.

Implementing Genuine Open Access, SciPost Physics is a publishing venue in which uncompromising scientific quality meets the highest achievable standards of open accessibility.

Scope

SciPost Physics Commons publishes outstanding-quality research articles in the domains of Experimental, Theoretical and Computational physics, including but not limited to:

    {% for discipline in subject_areas %} {% if discipline.0 == 'Physics' %} {% for area in discipline.1 %}
  • {{ area.1 }}
  • {% endfor %} {% endif %} {% endfor %}

Content

The journal accepts three indicative types of content: Letters, Articles and Reviews.

  • Letters report broad-interest and high-quality advances in Physics, of interest and importance to researchers in multiple subject areas.
  • Articles provide in-depth, detailed reports of research achievements within one or more subject areas.
  • Reviews are short pieces taking a snapshot of a research area, written by recognized leaders in the field, providing a critical assessment of current frontline research and providing pointers towards future opportunities.

These three types of content are published side-by-side on our online portal.
