Physical Review D

Physical Review D is a peer-reviewed journal of the American Physical Society, launched in 1970 as the particle, field, gravitation and cosmology section of Physical Review, publishing several thousand papers a year with a 2025 Journal Impact Factor of 5.3《物理评论 D》是美国物理学会的同行评审期刊，1970 年作为《物理评论》的粒子、场、引力与宇宙学分辑创刊，每年发表数千篇论文，2025 年影响因子为 5.3。

Scope

• It covers experimental and theoretical particle physics, including electroweak and strong interactions期刊覆盖实验与理论粒子物理，包括弱电相互作用与强相互作用。
• Lattice field theory and lattice QCD, physics beyond the standard model, and field-theoretic phenomenology are central格点场论与格点（QCD）、超出标准模型的物理，以及场论现象学处于核心位置。
• Gravitation is represented by general relativity, black holes and compact objects, and gravitational-wave astronomy引力方面包括广义相对论、黑洞与致密天体，以及引力波天文学。
• Cosmology, galaxy formation and cosmic rays appear together with astroparticle physics宇宙学、星系形成与宇宙线，同天体粒子物理一并刊载。
• Astrophysics and multimessenger astronomy, including the impact of supermassive black holes on their environment, are in scope天体物理与多信使天文学，包括超大质量黑洞对其环境的物理影响，均属收稿范围。
• Formal aspects such as string theory, quantum gravity, gauge-gravity duality and field theory in curved space are welcome弦论、量子引力、规范引力对偶与弯曲时空场论等形式化方向同样欢迎。
• Computational and data-science techniques for astrophysics, relativity and cosmology are covered, and Letters carry short reports of important results面向天体物理、相对论与宇宙学的计算与数据科学技术亦在范围内，快报栏目则刊载重要成果的简短报道。

History

• Physical Review was divided into subject sections in 1970, and section D took particles and fields, with volume 1, issue 1 dated 1 January 1970《物理评论》于 1970 年按学科拆分为多个分辑，D 辑承接粒子与场，第 1 卷第 1 期标注日期为 1970 年 1 月 1 日。
• The journal adopted its current identifiers in 2016, with ISSN 2470-0010 in print and 2470-0029 online, replacing 1550-7998期刊于 2016 年启用现行刊号，印刷版为 2470-0010、网络版为 2470-0029，取代此前的 1550-7998。
• On 1 January 2018 it joined the SCOAP3 consortium, so high-energy physics articles meeting the criteria appear in open access2018 年 1 月 1 日加入（SCOAP3）联盟，符合条件的高能物理论文因此以开放获取形式发表。
• It appears twice monthly, with two volumes and 24 issues a year, and is among the largest physics journals by output期刊为半月刊，每年两卷共 24 期，按发文量计是物理学界规模最大的期刊之一。
• The Journal Impact Factor was 5.407 in 2022 and 5.3 in 2025, ranking fifth among 31 journals in physics, particles and fields影响因子 2022 年为 5.407，2025 年为 5.3，在粒子与场物理类 31 种期刊中排名第五。
• Roughly 5000 articles received DOIs in 2025 alone, spanning theory, experiment and astrophysics仅 2025 年就有约 5000 篇论文获得（DOI），涵盖理论、实验与天体物理。

Editors

• Urs M. Heller, who joined the journal in 2002 from lattice QCD research, is Chief Editor on the American Physical Society staff首席编辑 Urs M. Heller 于 2002 年由格点（QCD）研究转入该刊，任职于美国物理学会编辑部。
• Mirjam Cvetic of the University of Pennsylvania is Lead Editor, working on string compactification, quantum gravity and their particle-physics implications领衔编辑为（University of Pennsylvania）的 Mirjam Cvetic，研究弦论紧致化、量子引力及其粒子物理含义。
• Staff senior editors in the APS offices handle particle theory and phenomenology, among them Ansar Fayyazuddin and Alin Tirziu学会编辑部的资深编辑负责粒子理论与现象学，其中包括 Ansar Fayyazuddin 与 Alin Tirziu。
• Academic associate editors such as Cecilia Chirenti of Maryland and Philip Chang of Wisconsin-Milwaukee extend coverage to compact objects and computational astrophysics学术副编辑如（Maryland）的 Cecilia Chirenti 与（Wisconsin-Milwaukee）的 Philip Chang，将覆盖面延伸至致密天体与计算天体物理。
• Referees stay anonymous to authors, editors take every decision, and notable papers can be marked as an Editors' Suggestion or highlighted in Physics评审人对作者匿名，一切决定由编辑作出，重要论文可标为编辑推荐或在（Physics）杂志重点介绍。
• There is no strict length limit, long papers with depth are welcomed, and the Letters section carries short papers of particular importance期刊不设严格篇幅上限，欢迎有深度的长文，快报栏目则刊载特别重要的短文。
