Physics Reports

Physics Reports keeps the active physicist up-to-date on developments in a wide range of topics by publishing timely reviews which are more extensive than just literature surveys but normally less than a full monograph. Each report deals with one specific subject and is generally published in a separate volume. These reviews are specialist in nature but contain enough introductory material to make the main points intelligible to a non-specialist. The reader will not only be able to distinguish important developments and trends in physics but will also find a sufficient number of references to the original literature.

《Physics Reports》创刊于1971年，由 Elsevier公司出版发行。该期刊通过发表及时的评论，让活跃的物理学家了解各种主题的最新发展，这些评论比文献调查更广泛，但通常少于完整的专着。每份报告涉及一个特定主题，通常以单独的卷册出版。这些评论本质上是专业的，但包含足够的介绍性材料，使非专业人士也能理解要点。读者不仅能够区分物理学的重要发展和趋势，而且还可以找到足够数量的原始文献参考文献。该期刊的主要内容包括：天体物理学和宇宙学；原子、分子和光学物理学；生物物理学；凝聚态物理；高能物理；纳米科学；非线性动力学和复杂系统；核物理和强子物理；等离子体物理学；统计物理学等等。
