The main field of interest is collective phenomena of [many-body systems](/source/Many-body_theory). It is edited by Dario Corradini as of December 2024.[1] While original research content requires subscription, editorials, news, and other non-research content is [openly accessible](/source/Open_access_(publishing)). ## Scope Although the focus of this journal is [many-body phenomena](/source/Many-body_theory), the broad scope of the journal includes [quantum chaos](/source/Quantum_chaos), soft matter physics, classical [chaos](/source/Chaos_theory), biological physics and granular materials. Also emphasized are [statistical physics](/source/Statistical_physics), equilibrium and transport properties of fluids, [liquid crystals](/source/Liquid_crystal), complex fluids, [polymers](/source/Polymer), chaos, [fluid dynamics](/source/Fluid_dynamics), [plasma physics](/source/Plasma_(physics)), [classical physics](/source/Classical_physics), and [computational physics](/source/Computational_physics).[1][2] ## Former names This journal began as "*[Physical Review](/source/Physical_Review)*" in 1893. In 1913 the [American Physical Society](/source/American_Physical_Society) took over *Physical Review*. In 1970 *Physical Review* was subdivided into *Physical Review A*, *B*, *C*, and *D*. From 1990 until 1993 a process was underway which split the journal then entitled *[Physical Review A: General Physics](/source/Physical_Review_A%3A_Atomic%2C_Molecular_and_Optical_Physics)* into two journals. Hence, from 1993 until 2000, one of the split off journals became ***Physical Review E: Statistical Physics, Plasmas, Fluids, and Related Interdisciplinary Topics***. In 2001 the journal was changed, in name, to its present title. As an aside, in January 2007, the section which published works on [classical optics](/source/Optics) was transferred from *Physical Review E* to *Physical Review A*. This action unified the classical and quantum parts of optics into a single journal.[3] ## Rapid Communications ***Physical Review E Rapid Communications*** was announced on June 7, 2010. This section (or feature) gives priority to results which are deemed significant, and merits a prominent display on the *Physical Review E* website. The specific article is displayed for several weeks, and is part of a rotation with other articles, also deemed significant.[4] ## Abstracting and indexing *Physical Review E* is indexed in the following bibliographic databases:[1][2][5][6] - [Science Citation Index Expanded](/source/Science_Citation_Index_Expanded) - [Current Contents](/source/Current_Contents) / Physical, Chemical & Earth Sciences - [Chemical Abstracts Service](/source/Chemical_Abstracts_Service) - [CASSI](/source/CASSI) - [Current Physics Index](http://www.museumstuff.com/learn/topics/Current_Physics_Index) - [Inspec](/source/Inspec) - [MEDLINE](/source/MEDLINE) - [Index Medicus](/source/Index_Medicus) - [PubMed](/source/PubMed) - [NLM catalog](/source/NLM_catalog) - [Physics Abstracts](http://www.absolute-inc.com/_/inventory/view.html?title=PHYSICS+ABSTRACTS+-+SERIES++A%3A+SCIENCE+ABSTRACTS&sng=true&cpt=true) - [SPIN](/source/SPIN_bibliographic_database) ## See also - *[American Journal of Physics](/source/American_Journal_of_Physics)* - *[Annales Henri Poincaré](/source/Annales_Henri_Poincar%C3%A9)* - *[Applied Physics Express](/source/Applied_Physics_Express)* - *[CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics](/source/CRC_Handbook_of_Chemistry_and_Physics)* - *[European Physical Journal E](/source/European_Physical_Journal_E)* - *[Journal of Physical and Chemical Reference Data](/source/Journal_of_Physical_and_Chemical_Reference_Data)* - *[Journal of Physics A](/source/Journal_of_Physics_A)* ## References 1. ^ [***a***](#cite_ref-About_1-0) [***b***](#cite_ref-About_1-1) [***c***](#cite_ref-About_1-2) [About Physical Review E](http://pre.aps.org/about).
