Physical Review Applied，这个新如何？

　　Physical Review Applied，这个新如何？。Physical Review Applied

AIM SCOPE
The goal of Physical Review Applied is to promote the publication of the highest quality papers at the intersection of physics and engineering. The term, “applied physics,” traditionally encompasses theoretical and experimental studies of topics including materials science, surface and interface physics, device physics, condensed matter physics and optics, and we welcome both short letters and longer treatments in these fields.

Beyond that conventional description, we especially invite papers by physicists working on problems in engineering, and by engineers investigating systems involving physical mechanisms. We anticipate that by combining the best in physics with the best in engineering, we will strengthen both disciplines as well as provide new insights, foster new approaches, and promote new collaborations in a forum not available elsewhere.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following.

Applications of quantum mechanics in computers, electronics, and nanocrystals
Biophysics, bioengineering, and biomedical materials
Device physics
Energy technology including renewable energy, energy storage, and energy generation
High-pressure and geo-physics
Magnetics and spintronics
Material science and engineering, including polymers, semiconductors, superconductors, interfaces and surfaces, and metamaterials
Morphogenesis and pattern formation in nature and in manufactured materials
Nanoscience and nanotechnology
Optics, optoelectronics, photonics, and laser physics
Soft matter physics including fluid, granular, and colloidal dynamics, jamming and glasses, complex fluids, and active matter

We encourage all insightful, innovative, and forward-looking scientists working on applied or applicable problems to consider Physical Review Applied their home for scientific publication and discussion.

===有问必答===

Physical review A, B, C, D, E, L, X 等也一样别扭？

什么破玩意？
这几年新层出不穷，
看的人眼花缭乱！！！！

（1）PRB的Rapid Communications审稿标准见：
原话："The requirements for Rapid Communications are more stringent than those for regular articles.
The standards to be applied parallel those for Physical Review Letters but should be of interest to a more specialized readership."
和PRAp的Letter审稿标准："The requirements for Letters are more stringent than those for Research Articles.
The standards to be applied parallel those for Physical Review Letters." 差不多。
个人觉得所谓的PRB的“to a more specialized readership”只是APS的一种说辞。
感觉PRA-E的rapid communications和PRAp的Letters算是安慰，再牛也不是PRL，不过宣传的时候可以说一下。
（2）现在PRAp即时IF~4.0，6月份IF是否会超过5到时候看就知道了。
（3）PRAp至少不包含核物理，物理，原子物理等物理分支。说PRAp是综合物理刊物不是很恰当。PRAp只是APS对其子刊阵营的一个补充。APS创办PRAp就像NPG这些年一直在创办一些新的子刊，如Nature Astronomy。
（4）......

你有机会了解一下国内物理top级别的研究所和大学物理系一些人的看法。

这名字取得太别扭了，完全没有遵循英语语法，估计成不了气候。哈哈

如无意外，第一年影响因子就会超过APL。APS现在很火啊
