The American Physical Society has announced the launch of Physical Review X (PRX), an online, open access, primary research journal for authors in all fields of physics. Jorge Pullin, Chair of the Horace C. Hearne, Jr. Institute for Theoretical Physics and professor in the Louisiana State University Center for Computation & Technology and Department of Physics and Astronomy, will serve as the Editor of the journal.
PRX will publish original, scientifically sound research that advances physics and will be of value to the global multidisciplinary readership. PRX will provide validation through prompt and rigorous peer review, and an open access venue in accord with the strong reputation of the Physical Review family of publications.
Articles in PRX will be published under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License, leaving copyright with the authors. The funding required to make PRX freely available will derive from article-processing charges of $1500 per article. These will cover the expenses associated with peer review, composition, hosting, and archiving.
A Call for Papers will be issued in March 2011 and the first article will be published later in 2011.
