Journal Guide

The Journal of the Optical Society of America A (JOSA A) is devoted to developments in any field of classical optics, image science, and vision. JOSA A includes original peer-reviewed papers on such topics as atmospheric optics, image processing, scattering and coherence theory, machine vision, statistical optics, diffraction and gratings, polarization, thin films, signal processing, color, physiological optics, clinical vision, and visual optics.

The Journal of the Optical Society of America B (JOSA B) is a general optics research journal that complements JOSA A. It emphasizes research on the fundamentals of the interaction of radiation with matter such as quantum optics, nonlinear optics, and laser physics. It includes such topical areas as atom optics and cold atoms, integrated and fiber optics, metamaterials, nanophotonics, photonic crystals, photorefractive optics and holography, physics of optical materials, spectroscopy, THz optics, ultrafast phenomena, and other related subjects.

JPSJ covers all the fields of physics including (but not restricted to) Elementary particles and fields Nuclear physics Atomic and Molecular Physics Fluid Dynamics Plasma physics Physics of Condensed Matter Metal, Superconductor, Semiconductor, Magnetic Materials, Dielectric Materials Physics of Nanoscale Materials Optics and Quantum Electronics Physics of Complex Systems Mathematical Physics Chemical physics Biophysics Geophysics Astrophysics .

Kinematics and Physics of Celestial Bodies is concerned with the physical, integral properties of celestial bodies, kinematic astronomy and its base, astrometry. The journal publishes original and review papers on such topics as: Positional and theoretical astronomy; Earth's rotation and geodynamics; Dynamics and physics of bodies of the Solar System; Solar physics; Physics of stars and the interstellar medium; Structure and dynamics of the Galaxy; Extragalactic astronomy; Atmospheric optics and astronomical climate; Instruments and devices; Databases and more. The journal places an emphasis on structure and dynamics of the Galaxy, as well as on extragalactic astronomy. This journal is as much devoted to astronomical data, methods, and theoretical foundations for their collection, as it is to constructing dynamic and physical models for their interpretation. The journal is published under the auspices of the Division of Physics and Astronomy of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.

LEUKOS, The Journal of the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America is an online, quarterly journal edited by David L. Dilaura.

Langmuir focuses on the science and engineering of systems and materials in which the interface dominates structure and function. Manuscript submissions on the rational design of interfaces, including new applied and fundamental concepts in emerging areas, are welcome.

The following topics are examples within the scope of Langmuir:

• Polymer interfaces and films
• Adsorption, wetting, adhesion, and dynamics
• Membranes and biofouling
• Surfactants, emulsions, microemulsions, vesicles, suspensions, foams, and gels
• Fundamental theory and computations of interfacial properties
• Droplets and their dynamics
• Active and adaptive colloids and nanoparticles, self-assembly
• Drug delivery, nanomedicine, carriers, targeting, uptake and controlled release
• Advances in surface/interface characterization techniques
• MOFs, COFs, zeolites, and other porous materials
• Sensors and biosensors
• Rheology, mechanics, and non-equilibrium thermodynamics
• Van der Waals materials (1D, 2D, 3D and layered)
• Interfaces for sustainability and energy
• Electrochemistry, heterogeneous catalysis, photocatalysis
• Single molecule, single atom catalysts and particle dynamics under confinement

Reviewers of Langmuir manuscripts will be asked the following questions.

• Does the manuscript report original and significant findings in interface science and engineering?
• Are the claims adequately supported with appropriate data, control experiments, and statistics?
• What are the strengths and weaknesses of the work?

Laser Physics offers a comprehensive view of theoretical and experimental laser research and applications. Articles cover every aspect of modern laser physics and quantum electronics, emphasizing physical effects in various media (solid, gaseous, liquid) leading to the generation of laser radiation; peculiarities of propagation of laser radiation; problems involving impact of laser radiation on various substances and the emerging physical effects, including coherent ones; the applied use of lasers and laser spectroscopy; the processing and storage of information; and more.

Laser Physics Letters encompasses all aspects of laser physics sciences including, inter alia, spectroscopy, quantum electronics, quantum optics, quantum electrodynamics, nonlinear optics, atom optics, quantum computation, quantum information processing and storage, fiber optics and their applications in chemistry, biology, engineering and medicine.

Laser and Particle Beams is an international journal which deals with basic physics issues of intense laser and particle beams, and the interaction of these beams with matter. Research on pulse power technology associated with beam generation is also of strong interest. Subjects covered include the physics of high energy densities; non-LTE phenomena; hot dense matter and related atomic, plasma and hydrodynamic physics and astrophysics; intense sources of coherent radiation; high current particle accelerators; beam-wave interaction; and pulsed power technology.

Laser & Photonics Reviews is an international journal which covers the current range of laser physics and photonics, both theoretical and experimental, from recent research to specific developments and novel applications. Every issue contains invited review articles and topical reports.

The aim of Letters in Mathematical Physics is to attract the community's attention on important and original developments in the area of mathematical physics and contemporary theoretical physics. The journal publishes letters and longer research articles, occasionally also articles containing topical reviews. We are committed to both fast publication and careful refereeing. In addition, the journal offers important contributions to modern mathematics in fields which have a potential physical application, and important developments in theoretical physics which have potential mathematical impact.

Manuscripts in the following areas are being considered:

• Astrobiology;
• Prebiotic chemistry and origin of life;
• Life in extreme environments;
• Habitability in the solar system and beyond;
• Ecological life support and sustainability;
• Functionality, monitoring and control of ecosystem in space environment;
• Animal models in space research;
• Effects of space flight conditions on human bodies;
