Reviews in Physics (REVIP) is a gold open access journal publishing high-quality papers in all areas of applied and fundamental physics. REVIP aims to provide a platform for researchers who wish to summarize a field, report on their own progress, provide a forward-looking perspective of the future directions and challenges or discuss important ideas and controversies of current interest. The journal publishes articles in ALL active areas of physics research, but submissions are particularly encouraged in: Condensed Matter Physics (including Material Science) Optics and Photonics, Statistical and Nonlinear Physics Nuclear and High Energy Physics. REVIP does not accept submissions that report routine or incremental research, are primarily focused on mathematics or engineering design, have unclear connection to observable phenomena, discuss phenomena that are subjects of disciplines other than physics, or are purely philosophical in nature. Methodological papers are considered if they address important unsolved problems in physics or provide a tangible breakthrough.
