SciPost Physics

SciPost Physics is the flagship physics journal of the SciPost Foundation, a not-for-profit publisher in Amsterdam founded in 2016 by Jean-Sebastien Caux, publishing peer-witnessed research across experimental, theoretical and computational physics with no author charges and a 2025 Journal Impact Factor of 5.6.《SciPost 物理学》（SciPost Physics）是（SciPost Foundation）的旗舰物理期刊，该基金会为阿姆斯特丹的非营利出版机构，2016 年由（Jean-Sebastien Caux）创办，刊载实验、理论与计算物理的同行见证评审研究，不向作者收费，2025 年期刊影响因子为 5.6。

Scope

• Submissions are accepted from the whole of physics, provided the work reports a groundbreaking result in some specialisation.投稿面向物理学全域，但须在某一分支报告具有突破性的结果。
• Named specialties include atomic, molecular and optical physics, condensed matter, biophysics and fluid dynamics.所列分支包括原子、分子与光物理，凝聚态物理，生物物理与流体力学。
• Gravitation, cosmology and astroparticle physics, and high-energy experiment, theory and phenomenology, are covered.引力、宇宙学与天体粒子物理，以及高能物理的实验、理论与唯象研究，均在范围内。
• Mathematical physics, nuclear physics, quantum physics, statistical and soft matter physics and active matter complete the list.数学物理、核物理、量子物理、统计与软物质物理及活性物质构成其余分支。
• Format is deliberately free, with no minimum or maximum length, so a letter-like communication and an in-depth report are equally admissible.格式刻意放开，不设篇幅上下限，快报式通讯与深入长文同样可投。
• Authors must supply the data, code and protocol details needed to reproduce the figures and derivations.作者须提供复现图表与推导所需的数据、代码与实验规程细节。
• Accepted papers appear continuously and are gathered into monthly issues, with two volumes a year.录用论文连续发布，随后汇入月刊，每年两卷。

History

• The journal was launched by Jean-Sebastien Caux, professor of theoretical physics at the University of Amsterdam, as a community-run alternative to commercial publishing.本刊由（University of Amsterdam）理论物理学教授（Jean-Sebastien Caux）创办，作为商业化出版的学界自营替代方案。
• Its first volume opened in 2016, the same year the SciPost Foundation was registered in Amsterdam.第 1 卷于 2016 年开卷，同年（SciPost Foundation）在阿姆斯特丹注册。
• Start-up funding came from the Dutch research council NWO, and operations are now financed by consortia of universities and funders.启动资金来自荷兰研究理事会（NWO），现由高校与资助机构的联盟共同出资维持运营。
• No article processing charge and no subscription fee are levied, and articles are published under CC BY 4.0 with copyright retained by the authors.本刊不收文章处理费亦不收订阅费，论文以（CC BY 4.0）发布，版权归作者所有。
• The title holds the DOAJ Seal and is indexed in Science Citation Index Expanded, with roughly 380 papers published in 2025.本刊获（DOAJ）认证标志，并收录于（Science Citation Index Expanded），2025 年发表论文约 380 篇。
• The 2025 Journal Impact Factor is 5.6, against 5.4 in 2024, 6.554 in 2022 and 6.093 in 2021, ranking 15/112 in Multidisciplinary Physics.2025 年期刊影响因子为 5.6，2024 年为 5.4，2022 年为 6.554，2021 年为 6.093，在多学科物理类别中位列 15/112。

Editors

• There is no single editor-in-chief, and publication decisions are taken by the Editorial College for Physics.本刊不设单一主编，发表决定由物理学编辑学院作出。
• The College consists of fellows, some designated senior fellows, each responsible for picking up submissions and steering them through refereeing.该学院由研究员组成，其中部分为资深研究员，各自负责认领稿件并主持评审。
• Carlo Beenakker of Leiden University, Immanuel Bloch of the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics and Pasquale Calabrese of SISSA are among the fellows.（Leiden University）的（Carlo Beenakker）、（Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics）的（Immanuel Bloch）与（SISSA）的（Pasquale Calabrese）均为该院成员。
• Refereeing is peer-witnessed, meaning reports are posted alongside the manuscript and referees may sign them or remain anonymous.评审采取同行见证方式，评审报告与稿件一并公开，审稿人可具名亦可匿名。
• At least two substantial reports are required, and every point raised must be answered before a recommendation can be made.至少需要两份实质性报告，所提问题须全部答复后方可形成推荐意见。
• Jean-Sebastien Caux chairs the foundation that owns the journal, while editorial authority rests with the College rather than with him.（Jean-Sebastien Caux）任拥有本刊的基金会主席，编辑权归编辑学院而非其个人。
