nature-reviews-physics

Use when targeting Nature Reviews Physics (Nat Rev Phys) or deciding whether a review proposal across any area of physics fits this commissioned, authoritative review venue that publishes no primary research. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, evidence bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

# Nature Reviews Physics (nature-reviews-physics)

## Journal positioning

Nature Reviews Physics is a Springer Nature review journal publishing authoritative, accessible reviews and perspectives across the whole of physics — condensed matter, quantum information, particle and nuclear physics, astrophysics, optics, soft and biological physics, and more. Its defining character is editorial commissioning and breadth: most content is invited, written by leaders in a field, and edited to be readable across physics subdisciplines, not only by specialists. The journal publishes no primary research; its currency is synthesis, conceptual framing, and forward-looking assessment of where a field stands and where it is going. Readership is the broad physics community plus adjacent quantitative scientists. This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official submission guidelines. Before proposing or submitting, re-check the live author and presubmission-enquiry instructions on the Nature Reviews Physics site.

## When to trigger

- The author is considering a review, perspective, or roadmap for Nature Reviews Physics on a physics field of broad current interest.
- A team has primary results but wants to write an authoritative synthesis of a field rather than report new findings.
- An author is choosing between Nature Reviews Physics, Reviews of Modern Physics, and Reports on Progress in Physics for an authoritative review.
- The author needs the journal's commissioning model, breadth-of-audience expectations, and presubmission-enquiry process before drafting.
