''Physical Review Letters'' (''PRL''), established in 1958, is a peer-reviewed, scientific journal that is published 52 times per year by the American Physical Society. As also confirmed by various measurement standards, which include the ''Journal Citation Reports'' impact factor and the journal h-index proposed by Google Scholar, many physicists and other scientists consider ''Physical Review Letters'' one of the most prestigious journals in the field of physics.〔〔 〕〔 ''According Google Scholar, PRL is the journal with the 9th journal h-index among all scientific journals''〕〔 .〕 ''PRL'' is published as a print journal, and is in electronic format, online and CD-ROM. Its focus is rapid dissemination of significant, or notable, results of fundamental research on all topics related to all fields of physics. This is accomplished by rapid publication of short reports, called "Letters". Papers are published and available electronically one article at a time. When published in such a manner, the paper is available to be cited by other work. The new Leading Editor is Pierre Meystre. The Managing Editor is Reinhardt B. Schuhmann.〔〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = American Physical Society )〕 ==Scope and organizational format== ''Physical Review Letters'' is an internationally read physics journal, describing a diverse readership. Advances in physics, as well as cross disciplinary developments, are disseminated weekly, via this publication. Topics covered by this journal are also the explicit titles for each section of the journal. Sections are delineated (in the table of contents) as follows:〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://prl.aps.org/about )〕〔 〕〔 〕 *General Physics: Statistical and Quantum mechanics, Quantum information, etc. *Gravitation and Astrophysics *Elementary Particles and Fields *Nuclear physics *Atomic, Molecular, and Optical physics *Nonlinear dynamics, Fluid dynamics, Classical optics, etc. *Plasma and Beam physics *Condensed matter: Structure, etc. *Condensed Matter: Semiconductor-Electronic properties, etc. *Soft matter, Biological, and Interdisciplinary physics Worthy of note is a section which consists of emphasized articles. This section is designed to be articles suggested by the editors of the journal, which have been covered by ''Viewpoint in Physics''. Further criteria for these selections are these may be features in ''Physical Review Focus'', or these selections are worthy of note for other reasons.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Physical Review Letters」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
