1 General information

Frontiers

of Physics (FOP) is an international refereed journal jointly published

by Higher Education Press and Springer-Nature on a quarterly basis in

English. Online versions are available through

https://www.springer.com/11467 (open choice) for users outside the

Mainland of China or http://journal.hep.com.cn/FOP (free access) for

users of the Mainland of China.

The

journal publishes Review and Topical review Articles, and all papers

are strictly peer-reviewed. We are committed to promoting the

development of physics and providing the best services for enjoying the

distinctive charm of physics.

2 Aims & Scope

Frontiers

of Physics, an international refereed journal, aims to summarize the

latest and significant progress and highlight frontier achievements, hot

topics and cross points in a variety of research fields in physics,

such as quantum computation and quantum information; atomic, molecular,

and optical physics; condensed matter and materials physics; particle,

nuclear physics, astrophysics and cosmology, and to provide a platform

for communication and exchange of ideas among physicists in China and

overseas. The journal publishes Review and Topical Review articles. The

Review provides a comprehensive overview of certain active research

areas and the Topical Review offers a snapshot of recent progress in a

particular and rapidly developing research field.

3 Types of papers

The

journal publishes Reviews, Topical Reviews, Research Articles, View

& Perspective Articles, and Research Highlights on the current

topics of high interest to the researchers at the frontiers of physics.

The Reviews provide comprehensive overview of certain active research

areas. The Topical Reviews provide a snapshot of recent progress in a

particular and rapidly developing research field. The Research Articles

are linked to the primary research in nearly all main branches of

physics, such as quantum computation and quantum information; atomic,

molecular, and optical physics; condensed matter and materials physics;

particle, nuclear physics, astrophysics and cosmology. Moreover, the

commissioned Special Topics will be organized to reflect the new and

cutting-edge research progress and the wide coverage of a certain

research topic.

The following types of papers can be submitted to the journal:

Review

(>25 pages) – The Review gives a comprehensive overview of certain

active research areas. There is no strict page limit for each review

article, but we expect that it is at least 25 pages long.

Topical

Review (15-25 pages) – The Topical Review provides a snapshot of recent

progress in a particular research field. It often deals with a subject

which is still developing rapidly so a comprehensive review seems not

possible.

Research

Article (>4 pages) – The Research Articles are linked to the primary

research in nearly all main branches of physics.

View

& Perspective, Research Highlight – The ""View & Perspective""

or “Research Highlight” presents short outlines of (""views at"")

research areas addressed in the reviews or research papers, including

1-4 pages (2000-6000 words) and 10-20 references but no abstract.

4 Manuscript preparation, requirements, and submission instructions

4.1 Manuscript submission

Authors

are encouraged to submit their papers via the online submission system

https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/fop or by e-mail to the managing editor

Hongguang Dong (E-mail: donghg@hep.com.cn). The website guides authors

step-wise through the creation and uploading of various files. Note that

only PDF files are required for reviewing. To assist reviewers, please

add line numbers and page numbers to your manuscript. After the

reviewing process, the manuscript will be finally judged by responsible

editors who have the right to accept or reject a paper. Once the

manuscript is finally accepted, all original source files are required.

4.2 Submission requirements

4.2.1 Cover letter

This

journal adopts a double-blind model. In addition to anonymous

peer-review, authors submitting manuscripts are required to anonymize

them by removing text containing author information, such as author

name, author affiliation, author's signature and address in the cover

letter, and relevant content in the Acknowledgements.

When

submitting, please attach a cover letter which provides a brief

description of the highlights of the work, the significance of the

research, and other information such as whether it is an invited

submission from editors or a submission for a certain special issue,

etc. Authors are also encouraged to recommend some potential referees.

Final selection of reviewers will be determined by the editors.

4.2.2 Besides your article

We

set up a special column “Special Focus” on the third cover page of the

hard-copy of the journal to introduce a key laboratory, an institute,

etc., in each issue. For this purpose, you are encouraged to incorporate

a front-cover image along with a brief description and/or a recommended

laboratory, an institute or a research department in the cover letter

of your submission.
