Physical Review D

Physical Review D (PRD) is a leading journal in elementary particle physics, field theory, gravitation, and cosmology and is one of the top-cited journals in high-energy physics. Serving the Community Launched in 1970, PRD is one of the longest-established journals dedicated to serving the high-energy physics community. As of January 1, 2018, PRD is part of the SCOAP3 consortium. All high-energy physics articles meeting the SCOAP3 criteria published since that date in PRD will be made available in open access format. PRD coordinates with other members of the Physical Review family of journals to serve new subspecialties as they develop. PRD publishes detailed research articles as well as Letters, which are short accessible papers of particular importance. The journal has a flexible approach to article lengths and welcomes submission of longer papers that provide depth and authority in their subject areas. By Scientists, For Scientists Like all of the journals in the Physical Review family, PRD is shaped by researchers to serve the research community. This commitment ensures that its mission and standards prioritize the needs of researchers and authors, not commercial publishing interests. The journal is international, with approximately three-quarters of published articles originating from outside the U.S. Physical Review’s reach is far and wide, with authors and referees from over 130 countries.
