Journals to know about

Proceedings A publishes research of scientific excellence representing significant advances across the physical sciences including the field of fluid dynamics. Article types include research articles, reviews, invited perspectives, comments and invited replies and evidence synthesis. First published in 1832, the journal archive includes landmark scientific discoveries by Paul Dirac, Erwin Schrödinger and James Clerk Maxwell, making it one of the most important science journals in history.

Philosophical Transactions A publishes high quality theme issues on topics of current importance and general interest within the physical sciences, guest-edited by leading authorities and comprising new research, reviews and opinions from prominent researchers. Each issue aims to create an original and authoritative synthesis, often bridging traditional disciplines, which showcases current developments and provides a foundation for future research, applications and policy decisions.

Journal of the Royal Society Interface publishes research articles and reviews providing a dedicated forum for publication and interaction across scientific boundaries. Articles apply chemistry, engineering, materials science, mathematics and physics to the biological and medical sciences and highlight discoveries in the life sciences of relevance to the physical sciences.

Royal Society Open Science is an open access journal publishing high-quality original research on the basis of objective peer-review. The journal covers the entire range of science and mathematics and allows the Society to publish all the high-quality work it receives without the usual restrictions on scope, length or impact. It welcomes the submission of all high-quality science including articles which may usually be difficult to publish elsewhere, for example, replications or those that include negative findings.
