BP 6.1: Topical Talk

Monday, March 11, 2013, 15:30–16:00, H44

Publishing in Physical Review Letters — •Karsten Kruse — Theoretische Physik, Universität des Saarlandes, 66123 Saarbrücken, Germany

Physical Review Letters (PRL) is the world's foremost physics letters journal, providing rapid publication of short reports of significant fundamental research in all fields of physics. Every year we receive around 12000 manuscripts out of which about 3500 get eventually published in PRL. This talk is intended to provide young scientists a guide for publishing in PRL. I will start by explaining the editorial process and give some practical tips on how to prepare a manuscript for PRL. Finally, I will provide an overview of features that have been put into place during the last years to make PRL's content readily available to the community. These include, for example, the option of open access, support of ORCID, "Suggestions" highlighting articles of special interest, and coverage of selected articles in "Physics", a platform notably designed for young scientists.
