Introduction
The journals of the American Physical Society
embody the mission of the Society to “advance
and diffuse the knowledge of physics.” We
strive to produce journals of the highest quality
and keep our journals accessible to researchers
and students at institutions of all types and
sizes, everywhere in the world. The 2016
Journals Catalog provides valuable information
about each of the APS journals, along with an
overview of the various services and resources
available to librarians, subscribers, and readers.

CODEN: PRLTAO
Physical Review Letters (PRL) is APS’s flagship journal and
the most highly cited journal in physics. PRL publishes short
reports of significant and notable results in the full arc of
fundamental and interdisciplinary physics research.
Like all APS journals, PRL is international in scope, with at
least two thirds of authors, reviewers, and revenue based
outside the U.S. A full list of topics covered in PRL is available
in the Table of Contents online.
PRL continues to reinforce its high standards by
requiring referees, editors, and editorial board members
to be more rigorous.
Editors’Suggestions
Included in the Physical Review journal collection, Editors’
Suggestions highlight select papers of particular interest,
importance, or clarity. APS Editors choose these exceptional
papers weekly to encourage the exploration of other areas
of physics. Editors’ Suggestions can be found on the
respective online journal page.
Kaleidoscope
Many Physical Review articles contain images that are both
scientifically important and visually appealing. A selection of
these images appears in Kaleidoscope to promote interest
in the aesthetics of physics. Images are selected solely for
their artistic appeal. Images from recently published papers
appear on our main page and in an online archive.
CreativeCommons
Authors in most Physical Review journals may pay an
article-processing charge whereby their accepted
manuscripts are available barrier-free and open access on
publication. These manuscripts are published under the
terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License
(CC-BY), the most permissive of the CC licenses, granting
authors and others the right to copy, distribute, transmit,
and adapt the work, provided that proper credit is given.
This alternative is in addition to traditional subscription-
funded publication; authors may choose one or the other for
their accepted papers.
More information about the APS article-processing charges
can be found online at journals.aps.org/author-information.

Reviews of Modern Physics (RMP) brings the broad
fundamental physics literature in established topical areas
together and places it within the context of current trends
in research and applications. RMP serves students and
established researchers in physics and related fields.
Review articles offer:
• In-depth treatment of a research area
• Surveys of recent work
• Introductions of topics aimed at graduate students
and nonspecialists
Shorter Colloquia describe recent work of interest to all,
especially work at the frontiers of physics, which
may impact several different subfields.

Physical Review Applied is dedicated to publishing the highest
quality research at the intersection of physics and engineering.
Physical Review Applied welcomes papers in conventional
applied physics, including research into materials science,
surface and interface physics, device physics, condensed
matter physics, and optics.
Beyond the conventional description, we especially invite papers
by physicists working on problems in engineering and by engineers
investigating systems involving physical mechanisms. We anticipate
that by combining the best in physics with the best in engineering,
we will strengthen both disciplines as well as provide new insights,
foster new approaches, and promote new collaborations in a forum
not available elsewhere.
Topics Include:
• Applications of quantum mechanics in computers,
electronics, and nanocrystals
• Biophysics, bioengineering, and biomedical materials
• Device physics
• Energy technology, including renewable energy, energy
storage, and energy generation
• High-pressure and geophysics
• Magnetics and spintronics
• Materials science and engineering, including polymers,
semiconductors, superconductors, interfaces and surfaces,
and metamaterials
• Morphogenesis and pattern formation in nature and in
manufactured materials
• Nanoscience and nanotechnology
• Optics, optoelectronics, photonics, and laser physics
• Soft matter physics, including fluid, granular, and colloidal
dynamics, jamming and glasses, complex fluids, and
active matter

them that access is through their paid library subscription. The name
of the library is featured as part of the message. If the library name
printed in the message is incorrect, you can either change the display
name through the librarian portal or request a change by sending an
email to help@aps.org. Please include your institutional account number,
the account administrator’s email address, and the preferred online
display name.

APSTiers
APS continues its efforts to achieve a fair distribution of costs between
major research subscribers, small undergraduate institutions, and those
in between. The APS Council supports the philosophy that the cost
of research activity should be distributed to reflect the way different
institutions utilize the literature. In particular, it should reflect both the
value of the product to the reader (students, researchers, etc.) and the
value of the journal as a distributor of research information (authors,
institutions).
OnlineSubscriptions
All APS journals are hosted on the APS platform. This unified and simplified
configuration provides a consolidated set of personalized services for
readers, authors, and referees.

Physical Review Letters 1958–2016
Reviews of Modern Physics 1929–2016
Physical Review A–D 1970–2016
Physical Review E 1993–2016
Physical Review X 2011–2016
Physical Review Special Topics—Accelerators and Beams 1998–2016
Physical Review Special Topics—Physics Education Research 2005–2016
With a PROLA subscription or an APS-ALL or PR-ALL package, usage
statistics will also include: Physical Review Series I & II 1893–1969
IPPolicy
APS online institutional subscribers are recognized and authorized
by their Internet Protocol (IP) address. APS will only accept IP ranges
owned by the subscriber or that are for the sole use of the subscriber.
APS does not allow IP sharing across multiple institutions or accounts.
If an IP is submitted in conflict with a pre-existing IP address in the
APS system, both institutions will be notified to resolve the conflict.
Systematic or programmatic downloading via granted IP access is
prohibited. A more detailed explanation of the APS IP Policy is available
online at librarians.aps.org/institutional.html.

2016CD-ROMPrices
Each APS Journal CD-ROM is a hybrid HTML/PDF CD-ROM that allows for
“electronic shelving” of that journal. The discs contain PDFs of the year’s
journals to allow the transfer of the information onto the subscribing
institution’s server, thus “shelving” the information contained in the
printed journals. The disc is the functional equivalent of a bound volume.
This product provides the opportunity for users to secure their own
archival copy of the annual issues.
The root directory contains an HTML document that links to each
issue’s table of contents, also in HTML format. Each issue has its own
directory, which includes the HTML table of contents and PDF files of the
articles. These files may be read with any conventional web browser and
appropriate PDF viewer (such as Adobe Reader).
Access is limited subject to the terms and conditions set forth by the
current journal subscription. APS online journals and their content,
including abstracts, are copyrighted by the APS and are subject to all
applicable copyright, database protection, and other rights of the APS as
copyright owner and publisher under the laws of the United States and
other countries.
Prices are as follows:
The APS 2016 Volume Year CD-ROMs will be available in March 2017
