The aims of Advances in Physics: X are to demonstrate: 1. the connectivity of Physics, by which we mean the intellectual relationships between one branch of Physics and another; and 2. the pervasiveness of Physics, that is, the influence of Physics across (hence the “X”) the boundaries into other disciplines, including chemistry, materials science, engineering, biology, and medicine. Thus the journal promotes the centrality of Physics and physical measurement to modern science and technology, defending the discipline and revealing both its richness and its impact. The aims of APX are achieved through the Open Access, electronic publication of concise review articles, commissioned from leading experts and made available freely throughout the world.

Communications Physics is an open access journal from Nature Research publishing high-quality research, reviews and commentary in all areas of the physical sciences. Research papers published by the journal represent significant advances bringing new insight to a specialized area of research in physics. We also aim to provide a community forum for issues of importance to all physicists, regardless of sub-discipline. The scope of the journal covers all areas of experimental, applied, fundamental, and interdisciplinary physical sciences. Primary research published in Communications Physics includes novel experimental results, new techniques or computational methods that may influence the work of others in the sub-discipline. We also consider submissions from adjacent research fields where the central advance of the study is of interest to physicists, for example material sciences, physical chemistry and technologies.
