Physical Review (frequently abbreviated as Phys. An academic discipline or field of study is a branch of Knowledge which is taught or Researched at the college or university level The American Physical Society was founded in 1899 and is the World 's second largest organization of physicists behind the Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft. The United States of America —commonly referred to as the Year 1893 ( MDCCCXCIII) was a Common year starting on Sunday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian calendar (or a Common Rev. ) is one of the oldest and most-respected scientific journals publishing research on all aspects of physics. For a broader class of publications which include scientific journals see Academic journal. Physics (Greek Physis - φύσις in everyday terms is the Science of Matter and its motion. It is published by the American Physical Society (APS). The American Physical Society was founded in 1899 and is the World 's second largest organization of physicists behind the Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft.

History
Physical Review commenced publication in July 1893, organized by Cornell University professor Edward Nichols and helped by the new President of Cornell, J. Year 1893 ( MDCCCXCIII) was a Common year starting on Sunday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian calendar (or a Common Edward Leamington Nichols (1854 &ndash November 10, 1937) was an American Physicist. Gould Schurman. The journal was managed and edited at Cornell in upstate New York from 1893 to 1913 by Nichols, Ernest Merritt, and Frederick Bedell. New York ( is a state in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern regions of the United States and is the nation's third most populous The 33 volumes published during this time constitute Physical Review Series I.
The American Physical Society, which was formed in 1899, took over its publication in 1913, and started Physical Review Series II. The American Physical Society was founded in 1899 and is the World 's second largest organization of physicists behind the Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft. Year 1913 ( MCMXIII) was a Common year starting on Wednesday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian calendar (or a Common The journal remained at Cornell under editor G. S. Fulcher from 1913 to 1926, before relocating to the location of Editor John Torrence Tate at the University of Minnesota. John Torrence Tate Jr born March 13, 1925 in Minneapolis Minnesota, is an American Mathematician, distinguished for many fundamental The University of Minnesota Twin Cities ( U of M or The U) is the oldest and largest part of the University of Minnesota system. In 1929, the APS started publishing the Reviews of Modern Physics, a venue for longer review articles. The Reviews of Modern Physics is a journal of the American Physical Society.
During the Depression, wealthy scientist Alfred Loomis anonymously paid the journal's fees for authors who could not afford them. Alfred Lee Loomis ( November 4, 1887 &ndash August 11, 1975) was an American Attorney, Investment banker, Physicist [1]
After Tate's death in 1950, the journals were managed on an interim basis still in Minnesota by E. L. Hill and John Buchta until Samuel Goudsmit and Simon Pasternak were appointed and the editorial office moved to Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) on the east end of Long Island, NY. Samuel Abraham Goudsmit (born July 11, 1902 Den Haag, The Netherlands, died December 4, 1978 in Reno Nevada Simon Pasternak (born 1971 is a Danish author and publisher He holds a masters degree in Comparative Literature from the University of Copenhagen. Brookhaven National Laboratory ( BNL) is a United States national laboratory located in Upton New York on Long Island, and was formally established In July 1958, the sister journal Physical Review Letters was introduced to publish short articles of particularly broad interest, initially edited by George L. Year 1958 ( MCMLVIII) was a Common year starting on Wednesday (link will display full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. Physical Review Letters is one of the most prestigious journals in Physics. Trigg, who remained as Editor until 1988.
In 1970, Physical Review split into sub-journals Physical Review A, B, C, and D. Year 1970 ( MCMLXX) was a Common year starting on Thursday (link shows full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. A fifth member of the family, Physical Review E, was introduced in 1993 to a large part to accommodate the huge amount of new research in nonlinear dynamics. Year 1993 ( MCMXCIII) was a Common year starting on Friday (link will display full 1993 Gregorian calendar) In Mathematics, chaos theory describes the behavior of certain dynamical systems – that is systems whose state evolves with time – that may exhibit dynamics that Combined, these constitute Physical Review Series III.
The editorial office moved in 1980 to its present location on 1 Research Road, Ridge, NY, just across the street from BNL. Sam Goudsmit retired in 1974 and Sy Pasternack in the mid-70's. B. Chalmers-Frazer was Managing Editor from 1974 until 1980, helped by Robert K. Adair and James Krumhansl. Past Editors-in-Chief include David Lazarus (1980—1990), from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and Benjamin Bederson (1990—1996), from New York University, and Martin Blume (1996—2007), from BNL.

The current Editor In Chief is Gene Sprouse from SUNY, Stony Brook.

In 1998, the first issue of Physical Review Special Topics — Accelerators and Beams was published, and in 2005, Physical Review Special Topics — Physics Education Research was launched) . Year 1998 ( MCMXCVIII) was a Common year starting on Thursday (link will display full 1998 Gregorian calendar) Year 2005 ( MMV) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link displays full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. Physical Review also started an online magazine, Physical Review Focus, in 1998 to explain, and provide historical context for, selected articles from Physical Review and Physical Review Letters. Physical Review Focus is an internet service of the American Physical Society, aiming to explain new developments in Physics in a language understandable to the educated Year 1998 ( MCMXCVIII) was a Common year starting on Thursday (link will display full 1998 Gregorian calendar) The Special Topics journals are open access; Physics Education Research requires page charges from the authors, but Physical Review Special Topics — Accelerators and Beams does not. Open access ( OA) is free immediate permanent full-text Online access for any user web-wide to digital scientific and scholarly material primarily Though not open access, Physical Review Letters also requires an author page charge, although this is voluntary. The other journals require such a charge only if they are not prepared in one of the preferred formats. [2]
All of the journals of the APS are recognized internationally as among the best and well known in physics. Many of the most famous physics papers published in the 20th century have appeared in the pages of the Physical Review family of journals.
