Proceedings of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences

Aims & Scope

Proceedings A publishes articles across the chemical, computational, Earth, engineering, mathematical, and physical sciences.

The articles published are high-quality, original, fundamental articles of interest to a wide range of scientists, and often have long citation half-lives.

As well as established disciplines, we encourage emerging and interdisciplinary areas.
