Viewpoints

This collection of viewpoints looks back over the past 50 years of the JPhys series and highlights a selection of important papers published from across the journals.

We commissioned these commentaries from respected researchers and asked them to explain why the papers are significant and discuss the impact they have had, and continue to have, on their field.

Emerging leaders

We created this collection of special issues to recognise the talents of exceptional, upcoming researchers working in the fields covered by the journals in the series.

The special issues will provide a collection that presents key new work in some of the most exciting fields across the whole of physics.

Journal of Physics Communications cover

Introducing Journal of Physics Communications

We are pleased to announce the launch of Journal of Physics Communications™, a new multidisciplinary open access journal from IOP Publishing, offering an accelerated and innovative way to publish your research.

Journal of Physics Communications welcomes the submission of papers from all areas of research relating to physics. We’re particularly interested in interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary studies that may not fit the narrower scope of traditional journals, and all authors will find a peer review process that is fast, inclusive and transparent. The journal is now open for submissions.

Visit the journal homepage to find out more.

Publishing, promoting and celebrating great science

For authors who choose to publish in the series, we are dedicated to helping them get the attention their work deserves.

Jphys Plus logo

JPhys+ blog

The JPhys+ blog highlights the very best articles published across the JPhys series to help extend the impact of the research and raise the visibility of the authors who publish in the series.

Scientific editing services

Scientific editing services

Scientific editing services has partnered with Editage to provide a range of support, including English-language editing, translation services, plagiarism checking and a technical review service.

We offer authors the editorial and subject-matter expertise of publication professionals who are passionate about scientific communications and have extensive experience in editing and publishing in high-impact STM journals.

Visit iopeditingservices.editage.com for more information.

Accepted manuscripts

In response to feedback from researchers, IOP Publishing has launched a new service to allow for accepted manuscripts to be made available online within 24 hours. This offer multiple benefits for all authors who publish in the JPhys series, allowing their research to be accessed and cited earlier than ever before.
