IOP Publishing (IOPP) has announced the appointment of Dr. David Gevaux as the first Chief Editor of Reports on Progress in Physics. Effective September 4, Dr. Gevaux will lead on ambitious plans for the journal, as its scope expands to include groundbreaking new research content alongside the authoritative reviews for which it is well known across all areas of physics.
Working closely with Professor Subir Sachdev, the editor-in-chief of Reports on Progress in Physics, Dr. Gevaux will champion the editorial and strategic development of the journal in positioning it at the pinnacle of IOPP’s broad portfolio of journals across the physical sciences.
He brings a wealth of publishing experience and knowledge of the physics research landscape to IOPP having held a range of scientific editing and leadership roles at Springer Nature over the last seventeen years where he led the strategic and editorial development of titles across the physical science programme.
Authors publishing their work in Reports on Progress in Physics can now choose to make their research openly available for anyone to read and benefit from an enhanced package of bespoke publishing and promotional services to maximize the reach and impact of their work.
IOP Publishing endorses equal opportunities for everyone to contribute to physical science. IOP Publishing will support researchers based in low-income and lower-middle-income countries whose work is accepted for publication in Reports on Progress in Physics by covering their article publication charges, enabling open access to their articles. Authors also have the option to submit their papers for double anonymous and transparent peer review. In the spirit of transparency and reproducibility, authors publishing in the journal are encouraged to share data and code where appropriate for the benefit of the research community.
