# New Journal of Physics (new-journal-of-physics)
## Journal positioning
NJP is published jointly by IOP Publishing and the Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft (DPG), is fully open access, and positions itself as a broad-scope, high-quality physics journal spanning the discipline. Its defining character is breadth with significance: NJP publishes substantial, technically sound papers across quantum information, atomic/molecular/optical (AMO) physics, condensed matter, optics and photonics, statistical and biological physics, and beyond, judged on scientific quality and importance to its field rather than on fitting a narrow topical mandate. NJP emphasizes article-level metrics and accessibility over a single journal impact figure, and it is a natural home for complete, well-motivated studies that are too broad or too specialized for a sub-field-only journal but do not need the selectivity of a flagship. Readership is the general physics community across theory and experiment. This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live author instructions on the NJP/IOP site.
## When to trigger
- The author names NJP as the target venue for a complete, significant physics paper of broad interest.
- A manuscript in quantum information, AMO, condensed matter, or optics is technically solid and the author is choosing between NJP, Physical Review X, PRX Quantum, and a sub-field Physical Review journal.
- A paper has genuine importance to its field but a broad enough scope that a topic-restricted journal is a poor fit.
- The author needs NJP's open-access terms, article-level-metrics ethos, and breadth-oriented framing, plus desk-reject criteria, before submission.
