Begun in 1895 by George E. Hale and James E. Keeler, The Astrophysical Journal is the foremost research journal in the world devoted to recent developments, discoveries, and theories in astronomy and astrophysics. Many of the classic discoveries of the twentieth century have first been reported in the Journal, which has also presented much of the important recent work on quasars, pulsars, neutron stars, black holes, solar and stellar magnetic fields, X-rays, and interstellar matter. In addition, videos that complement specific issues are periodically available.The Letters section was created as Part 2 of The Astrophysical Journal in 1967 by Chandrasekhar. He cited the need for a separate publishing schedule that allowed astrophysicists to rapidly publish short notices of their "spectacular developments in astronomy", Chandrasekhar, 1967, ApJ, 148, 1. In 1971, the Letters obtained its first editor separate from Part 1. For more information on the history of The Astrophysical Journal, see D. Osterbrock, 1995, ApJ, 438, 1.The Letters is a peer-reviewed express scientific journal published in paper and electronic formats for the AAS by IOP Publishing. Manuscripts must meet the same criteria for all papers published in The Astrophysical Journal with the additional criteria of timeliness and brevity.

Journal of Breath Research: Volatiles for Medical Diagnosis is dedicated to all aspects of breath science, with the major focus on analysis of exhaled breath in physiology and medicine, and the diagnosis and treatment of breath odours.In recent years it has emerged that many different volatile compounds are present in exhaled breath, some now known to be present at trace levels in the parts-per-million (ppm), parts-per-billion (ppb) and even at the parts-per-trillion (ppt) levels, and that these can be valuable indicators of metabolic status and can distinguish between the healthy and diseased states if they can be unambiguously identified and their levels measured to an acceptable accuracy. This represents a major challenge that is being met by both physical scientists and clinicians with increasing success, principally due to the remarkable developments in gas analytical techniques and sampling methodology that have occurred during the last decade. Exhaled breath (gas) and exhaled breath condensate analyses are non-invasive and of value to medical practitioners (including specialists in internal medicine, oncology, dental medicine, renal medicine, paediatrics, psychiatry, sleep medicine, sports medicine, workplace medicine), physiologists, microbiologists, biochemists and pharmacologists.Journal of Breath Research provides a forum for the presentation and critical evaluation of the different analytical techniques used for analysis of breath samples for medical diagnosis and therapeutic monitoring. These include gas-chromatography with mass-spectrometric detection (GCMS), selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry (SIFT-MS), proton-transfer reaction mass spectrometry (PTR-MS), ion mobility spectroscopy (IMS), laser spectrometry and sensor technology. Appropriate sampling procedures for breath and the interpretation of results from the clinical and physiological viewpoints will be a particular focus. It will also be of interest to chemists, physicists and laser experts with an interest in gas analysis.

Published monthly (12 issues per year) and covering all branches of physics, Reports on Progress in Physics is a prestigious journal for the publication of reviews surveying the development of selected topics, typically over the previous decade, within a wider context. Articles combine a critical evaluation of the field for established workers with a reliable and accessible introduction for newcomers and specialists in other fields.The journal has traditionally published Review Articles. Recently two other article types have been introduced to deal with subjects that have not reached a level of maturity necessary for a full review: Reports on Progress and Key Issues Reviews.
Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics (RAA) publishes original research papers and reviews on all branches of astronomy and astrophysics, especially: large-scale structure of universe formation and evolution of galaxies high-energy and cataclysmic processes in astrophysics formation and evolution of stars astrogeodynamics solar magnetic activity and heliogeospace environments dynamics of celestial bodies in the solar system and artificial bodies space observation and exploration new astronomical techniques and methods.
Russian Chemical Reviews is a cover-to-cover translation of the monthly review journal Uspekhi Khimii, one of the leading Russian scientific journals in chemistry, founded in 1932. It provides easy access to the achievements of chemists from Russia and the other countries of the former Soviet Union.
Frequency: 12 issues per year.Devoted exclusively to semiconductor research and applications, this journal''s multidisciplinary approach reflects the far-reaching nature of this topic. Semiconductor Science and Technology publishes research papers, fast track communications, topical review articles and special issues.The scope of the journal covers:
Technical areas concerned with smart materials and structures: Materials science: composites, ceramics, processing science, interface science, sensor/actuator materials, chiral materials, conducting and chiral polymers, electrochromic materials, liquid crystals, molecular-level smart materials, biomaterials. Sensing and actuation: electromagnetic, acoustic, chemical and mechanical sensing and actuation, single-measurand sensors, multiplexed multimeasurand distributed sensors and actuators, sensor/actuator signal processing, compatibility of sensors and actuators with conventional and advanced materials, smart sensors for materials and composites processing. Optics and electromagnetics: optical fibre technology, active and adaptive optical systems and components, tunable high-dielectric phase shifters, tunable surface control.

Control: structural acoustic control, distributed control, analogue and digital feedback control, real-time implementation, adaptive structure stability, damage implications for structural control. Information processing: neural networks, data processing, data visualization and reliability.
Superconductor Science and Technology is an international multidisciplinary journal for papers on all aspects of superconductivity. The coverage includes theories of superconductivity, the basic physics of superconductors, the relation of microstructure and growth to superconducting properties, the theory of novel devices, and the fabrication and properties of thin films and devices. It also encompasses the manufacture and properties of conductors, and their application in the construction of magnets and heavy current machines, together with enabling technology.
