Comptes Rendus Physique

Aims & Scope

Comptes Rendus Physique is a peer-reviewed electronic journal, which covers the whole field of physics and astrophysics.

It mainly publishes thematic issues, whose authors are chosen among the most active researchers in the field.

The coordination of each thematic issue is ensured by one or more guest editors, guaranteeing the consideration of the most recent and significant results.

It also publishes original research articles, review articles, historical perspectives, pedagogical texts or conference proceedings, with no limit in length and in a format as flexible as necessary (figures, associated data, etc.).

Articles are published in English or French
