Abstract
There will be two important changes in the structure of this journal. From the first issue in January 2007 the name of the journal will be Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical. Also, there will be a new section entitled `Fast Track Communications: Short Innovative Papers'. Letters to the Editor will no longer be published in the journal. Change of journal name. The new name, Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, is an accurate description of the content, nature and spirit of the journal as described in the scope statement on the inside front cover: `A major journal of theoretical physics reporting research on the mathematical structures that describe fundamental processes of the physical world and on the analytical, computational and numerical methods for exploring these structures.' The word `General' is no longer appropriate for the scope of this journal. This name change will have no effect on the subject material of the papers the journal publishes. Fast Track Communications: Short Innovative Papers. Beginning with issue 1 of the 2007 volume, the journal will publish a new article type, Fast Track Communications. Fast Track Communications (FTCs) are defined as outstanding short papers reporting new and timely developments in mathematical and theoretical physics. These high-quality articles will be of importance to readers of Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical but are not expected to meet any criterion of `general interest'. Conjectural articles are welcomed. FTCs will be processed quickly and are available free to readers in the electronic journal. To facilitate a fast review process we urge authors of FTCs to restrict the length of their article to eight journal pages (5000 words). The key criteria for acceptance will be quality, novelty and timeliness. FTCs will be published at the front of the journal and will be free to readers through IOPSelect. Submissions are welcomed from 1 October 2006. For details of how to submit an FTC please visit the journal homepage, www.iop.org/journals/jphysa.

本刊的结构将有两个重要的变化。从2007年1月第一期开始,期刊名称将改为《物理学报A:数学与理论》。此外,还将有一个名为“快速通道通信:简短的创新论文”的新部分。给编辑的信将不再在杂志上发表。更改日志名称。新名称《物理杂志A:数学与理论》准确地描述了杂志的内容、性质和精神,正如杂志封面的范围声明所描述的那样:“一本主要的理论物理杂志,报道描述物理世界基本过程的数学结构以及探索这些结构的分析、计算和数值方法的研究。”“一般”一词已不适用于本期刊的范围。更名对期刊发表的论文的主题材料没有影响。快车道通讯:简短的创新论文。从2007年第1期开始,该杂志将发表一种新的文章类型——快速通道通讯。快车道通信(FTCs)被定义为报告数学和理论物理学最新和及时发展的杰出短篇论文。这些高质量的文章对《Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical》的读者很重要,但不符合任何“一般兴趣”的标准。欢迎推测性文章。电子期刊将迅速处理FTCs,并免费提供给读者。为了加快审稿过程,我们敦促FTCs作者将文章长度限制在8页(5000字)以内。接受的关键标准将是质量、新颖性和及时性。FTCs将发表在期刊的前部,并通过IOPSelect向读者免费提供。欢迎由2006年10月1日起提交意见。有关如何提交FTC的详细信息,请访问该杂志的主页www.iop.org/journals/jphysa。欲了解更多信息,请通过jphysa@iop.org与期刊联系。
