Description
Physica Scripta is an international journal for experimental and theoretical physics comprising strong components of atomic, molecular and optical physics, plasma physics, condensed matter physics and mathematical physics. The journal publishes comments in five different sections and maintains a program of topical issues alongside the regular 12 issues. Research papers. Reports of original research work; not normally more than 8500 words (14 journal pages). Comments. Reviews of the current thinking of leading researchers on outstanding problems. Comments may include discussion of open questions, questions that recent work has apparently closed, important new applications, new theoretical and experimental approaches, and predictions of future developments. They are intended to bridge gaps in readers' knowledge and provide insight into problems, methods and results in different areas of physics. Comments may address controversial topics on which different experts have different views, provided the author fairly represents all sides of the controversy. A good Comment will provide an authoritative contribution by an acknowledged expert, and also readily engage non-experts and graduate students. The writing style may be similar to a brief review, an introductory colloquium, or a personal “column” guiding readers to the latest progress and problems in the topic. Authors are encouraged to write articles of 2500 – 6000 words in length, although there is no strict page limit.
