<h2>Aims</h2>
- <p>SciPost Physics is our top-level flagship in the field of Physics.</p>
- <p>Publications in SciPost Physics provide details on groundbreaking results or significant breakthroughs occurring in any (sub)specialization.</p>
- <p>As a premium-quality, two-way open access, peer-witnessed refereed Journal, it aims at providing scientists with a publishing platform in which uncompromising scientific quality meets the highest achievable standards of open accessibility, with a resolutely international outlook.</p>
- <p><em>Two-way open access</em> means free for readers, free for authors: there are no subscription or download costs, and authors are freed from dealing with article submission and/or processing charges.</p>
- <p>The <em>peer-witnessed refereeing</em> process guarantees high-quality, responsible refereeing, with demonstrably greater utility for authors and recognition for referees.</p>

<h2>Content</h2>
- <p>The journal accepts three types of content: <strong>Letters</strong>, <strong>Articles</strong> and <strong>Reviews</strong>.</p>
- <ul>
- <li><strong>Letters</strong> report broad-interest, significant breakthroughs in Physics, of interest and importance to researchers in multiple subject areas.</li>
- <li><strong>Articles</strong> provide in-depth, detailed reports of groundbreaking research within one or more subject areas.</li>
- <li><strong>Reviews</strong> 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.</li>
- </ul>
- </div>
+ <p>The content format for SciPost Physics is flexible: articles can be short letter-style communications of breakthroughs or in-depth reports of groundbreaking research. There is no minimum or maximum length: the article should however represent a complete, self-contained unit. The target audience can be researchers in many different subject areas, or specialists in one.</p>
+ <p>The submission format is more demanding than in our other Journals: in addition to the main manuscript, authors must provide a two-page extended abstract detailing:
+ <ul>
+ <li>the context to the problem</li>
+ <li>the breakthrough obtained</li>
+ <li>perspectives for further research</li>
+ </ul>
+ written in a manner which is accessible to a wide spectrum of physicists (in particular for non-specialist Fellows within our Editorial College).</p>
+ <p>In addition, submissions to SciPost Physics must provide all the material needed to ensure proper reproducibility of the research results, either in appendices, adjoined files or external repository links:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>detailed derivations</li>
+ <li>data and code snippets used to produce figures</li>
+ <li>explicit details of experimental protocols</li>
+ <li>other types of reproducibility-facilitating material.</li>
