Subject Coverage Publishing 50 issues a year, Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical is a major journal of theoretical physics reporting research on the mathematical structures that describe fundamental processes of the physical world and on the analytical, computational and numerical methods for exploring these structures. Mathematical papers should be clearly motivated by actual or potential application to physical phenomena.
Research papers in the journal are published in one of the following six sections: Statistical physics: nonequilibrium systems, computational methods and modern equilibrium theory; Biological modelling; Nonlinear physics and waves; Mathematical physics; Quantum mechanics and quantum information theory and Field theory and string theory
Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment (JSTAT) covers all aspects of statistical physics, including experimental work that impacts on the subject.
