History

• The title was created in 1998 as part of the European Physical Journal, merging Zeitschrift für Physik C with Il Nuovo Cimento A, with Jochen Bartels and Dieter Haidt shaping its profile.该刊 1998 年作为（European Physical Journal）系列的一部分创办，由（Zeitschrift für Physik C）与（Il Nuovo Cimento A）合并而成，Jochen Bartels 与 Dieter Haidt 参与塑造了其学术定位。
• The new title adopted ISSN 1434-6044 and e-ISSN 1434-6052 and is published jointly by EDP Sciences, the Italian Physical Society and Springer Berlin Heidelberg.新刊启用刊号 1434-6044 与电子刊号 1434-6052，由（EDP Sciences）、（Italian Physical Society）与（Springer Berlin Heidelberg）联合出版。
• From January 2014, volume 74, the journal became a full open access publication funded by SCOAP3, with authors retaining copyright under Creative Commons licences.自 2014 年 1 月第 74 卷起，刊物在（SCOAP3）资助下转为全文开放获取，作者保留版权并采用知识共享许可。
• A new section on Computing, Software and Data Science opened in 2025, absorbing the scope of Computing and Software for Big Science, with Markus Elsing as its editor-in-chief.2025 年新设计算、软件与数据科学分部，整合（Computing and Software for Big Science）的覆盖范围，由 Markus Elsing 任主编。^[1]
• Publication is monthly, with twelve issues a year and continuous article numbering rather than page ranges.刊物按月出版，每年十二期，采用连续文章编号而非连续页码。
• Its 2025 Journal Impact Factor is 4.9, compared with 4.8 in 2024, 4.991 in 2022 and 4.59 in 2021, placing it in the first quartile of particle and field physics.2025 年期刊影响因子为 4.9，此前 2024 年为 4.8，2022 年为 4.991，2021 年为 4.59，位列粒子与场物理类一区。
