Author Guidelines
Authors should read the aims and scope before submission. Manuscripts must be original, clearly written and not under review elsewhere.
Article types
- Original research articles
- Review and perspective articles
- Experimental and instrumentation papers
- Theoretical and computational physics papers
- Methods, technical notes and short communications
Scientific reporting
State the physical question, assumptions, methods and contribution precisely. Distinguish established results from new findings. Report uncertainty, calibration, controls, boundary conditions and limitations, and do not claim more than the evidence supports.
Experimental and computational methods
Describe apparatus, materials, detectors, calibration, acquisition, preprocessing, simulations, numerical methods, parameter choices, hardware and software sufficiently for assessment. Report safety, ethics and facility approvals where applicable.
Data, code and reproducibility
Include a Data and Code Availability Statement. Deposit data, code, analysis scripts, simulation inputs and reproducibility instructions in a stable repository where possible. Identify versions, licences and justified access restrictions.
Review files
Provide a separate title page and anonymized manuscript for double-blind review. Disclose funding, competing interests, author contributions and material use of generative AI.
