Zeitschrift fur Naturforschung - Section A Journal of Physical Sciences

Aims & Scope

A Journal of Physical Sciences: Zeitschrift für Naturforschung A (ZNA) is an international scientific journal which publishes original research papers from all areas of experimental and theoretical physics.

Authors are encouraged to pay particular attention to a clear exposition of their respective subject, addressing a wide readership.

In accordance with the name of our journal, which means “Journal for Natural Sciences”, manuscripts submitted to ZNA should have a tangible connection to actual physical phenomena.

In particular, we welcome experiment-oriented contributions.

Manuscripts considered for publication in A Journal of Physical Sciences: Zeitschrift für Naturforschung A undergo high-level refereeing.

Mere formal correctness of a paper is not sufficient for its acceptance.

Moreover, articles reporting a merely marginal extension of already existing knowledge are considered unsatisfactory.

Instead, the key quality a publication in A Journal of Physical Sciences: Zeitschrift für Naturforschung A should possess is that it makes a genuine contribution to the advancement of its topic.

Topics: -Atomic, Molecular & Chemical Physics- Dynamical Systems & Nonlinear Phenomena- Gravitation & Cosmology- Hydrodynamics- Quantum Theory- Solid State Physics & Materials Science- Thermodynamics & Statistical Physics
