物理學報告使活躍的物理學家在廣泛的主題上保持最新的發展，通過出版及時的評論，這不僅是廣泛的文獻調查，但通常少于一個完整的專著。每一份報告涉及一個特定的主題，一般在單獨的一卷中發表。這些評論本質上是專業的，但包含足夠的介紹性材料，使非專業人士能夠理解要點。讀者不僅能夠區分重要的發展和趨勢，在物理，也將找到足夠數量的參考文獻的原始。物理學報告的編輯主要從事以下領域:天體物理學和宇宙學;原子、分子和光學物理學;生物物理學;凝聚態物理;高能物理;納米科學;非線性動力學與復雜系統;核物理和強子物理;等離子體物理;和統計物理。許多發表在物理報告上的文章在他們的領域里設立了一個標準。提交物理報告的文章只接受邀請;非應邀提交的資料概不受理。如果您覺得您有一個主題適合發表在本雜志的一個部分，請聯系我們的編輯部，physrep-eo@elsevier.com，與不超過1000字的建議。你必須指定哪個編輯應該審查你的建議(見編輯委員會)。

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.The Editors of Physics Reports are specialized in the areas: Astrophysics and Cosmology; Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics; Biological Physics; Condensed Matter Physics; High Energy Physics; Nanoscience; Non-Linear Dynamics and Complex Systems; Nuclear Physics and Hadronic Physics; Plasma Physics; and Statistical Physics. Many articles published in Physics Reports have set a standard in their fields.Submission of articles to Physics Reports is by invitation only; unsolicited submissions cannot be accepted. Should you feel that you have a topic suitable for publication in one of the sections in this journal, please contact our Editorial Office, physrep-eo@elsevier.com, with a proposal of no more than 1000 words. You must specify which Editor should review your proposal (see Editorial Board).
