Aims & Scope

Applied Physics Reviews (APR) features articles on important and current topics in experimental or theoretical research in applied physics or applications of physics to other branches of science and engineering. APR publishes the following types of articles: -Original Research: An article reporting on an important and novel research study of high quality and general interest to the applied physics community. -Reviews: This type of article can either be an authoritative, comprehensive review of established areas of applied physics, or a short timely review of recent advances in established fields or new and emerging areas of applied physics. The majority of Review articles in APR are by invitation. Authors who wish to submit a Review article without invitation must provide the following: -a solid case for why their Review is timely and of interest to the readership of APR, -substantial evidence that they are recognized as top experts in the field and that they are highly qualified to write such a Review, and -an editorial summary with their article for consideration by the editors.
