Scope

EPL publishes original letters that communicates new results and findings that merit rapid publication in all areas of physics. EPL also publishes comments on letters previously published in the journal.

History

Europhysics Letters was founded in 1986 by the European Physical Society (EPS), Société Française de Physique (SFP) and its subsidiary EDP Sciences, the Società Italiana di Fisica (SIF) and the Institute of Physics (IOP). The new journal incorporated Lettere al Nuovo Cimento and Journal de Physique: Lettres and was published by EPS, EDP Sciences and SIF until 2006.

EPL is now published under the scientific policy and control of the EPS by EDP Sciences, IOP Publishing and SIF for a partnership of 17 European physical societies (the EPL Association).[1]

Abstracting, indexing, and impact factor

According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal had a 2014 impact factor of 2.095.[2]

It is indexed in the following bibliographic databases:

gollark: I wouldn't say the virus has a goal any more than a computer program does or something. The difference is that if you set an intelligent thing a goal, it can reason about the best way to accomplish it.
gollark: Also, large-scale competition burns a ton of resources which would ideally not be used up.
gollark: I say this because you said> do you really want a second rate species succeeding?but it isn't a given that because something won at competition it's actually *better*.
gollark: It's the easiest example I could come up with. You could probably look at history or sports too.
gollark: That isn't really a goal. Virioids aren't going around thinking about their goals and how best to satisfy them. They just do things related to that due to the output of blind optimisation processes.
