Annals of Physics
Publisher: Full-Text Availability. 1995- Present
Annals of Physics presents original work in all areas of basic theoretic physics research. Ideas are developed and fully explored, and thorough treatment is given to first principles and ultimate applications. Annals of Physics emphasizes clarity and intelligibility in the articles it publishes, thus making them as accessible as possible. Readers familiar with recent developments in the field are provided with sufficient detail and background to follow the arguments and understand their significance.
Nature Materials
Publisher: Full-text availability. 2002 - Present
Nature Materials is focused on all topics within the combined disciplines of materials science and engineering. Topics published in the journal are presented from the view of the impact that materials research has on other scientific disciplines such as (for example) physics, chemistry, and biology. Coverage in this journal encompasses fundamental research and applications from synthesis to processing, and from structure to composition. Coverage also includes basic research and applications of properties and performance of materials. Materials are specifically described as "substances in the condensed states (liquid, solid, colloidal)", and which are "designed or manipulated for technological ends."
Nature Physics
Publisher: Full-text Availability, 2005 -Present
Nature Physics publishes both pure and applied research from all areas of physics.[1] Subject areas covered by the journal include quantum mechanics, condensed-matter physics, optics, thermodynamics, particle physics, and biophysics.
Annual Review of Physical Chemistry
Publisher: Full-text Availability, 1995 -2005
Annual Review of Physical Chemistry is a peer-reviewed scientific journal published by Annual Reviews. It covers all topics pertaining to physical chemistry. The editors-in-chief are Mark A. Johnson (Yale University) and Todd J. Martinez (Stanford University).The journal is indexed in the Science Citation Index Expanded and Chemical Abstracts Service.
Nature Chemistry
Publisher: Full-Text Availability. 2009-Present
Nature Chemistry is a monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal published by Nature Publishing Group. It was established in April 2009. The editor-in-chief is Stuart Cantrill. The journal covers all aspects of chemistry. Publishing formats include primary research articles, reviews, news, views, highlights of notable research from other journals, commentaries, book reviews, correspondence. Other formats are analysis of issues such as education, funding, policy, intellectual property, and the impact chemistry has on society.
