The American Physical Society (APS) has announced the launch of its first highly-selective, fully open access energy research journal with an emphasis on outstanding and lasting impact. PRX Energy will open for submissions in late summer 2021 with publication fees waived until 2023.
“The physics community has long been central to fundamental energy science and many resulting applications,” said APS Editor in Chief Michael Thoennessen. “But communication and collaboration across traditional boundaries is now critical, as researchers and stakeholders from a diverse array of disciplines and regions focus their efforts on achieving a sustainable energy future.”
Building on the success of Physical Review X (PRX), the world’s leading open access journal in multidisciplinary physics, PRX Energy will provide a forum to facilitate important advances in renewable and sustainable energy technologies for the benefit of humanity.
The journal will publish basic and applied research in energy sources, storage, and utilization as well as studies covering aspects of sustainability. PRX Energy will connect members of the interdisciplinary energy research and physics communities while broadly disseminating significant and timely results.
PRX Energy follows the launch of PRX Quantum last year. These small, high-impact publications focus on new and emerging research areas while leveraging the rigorous peer review and editorial standards authors expect from the Physical Review family of journals.
