The top physics journals, aside from Physical Review, include Science and Nature, which are considered the leading publications in many areas of physics. For high energy physics, Physical Review Letters (PRL) is paramount. Other notable journals within the Physical Review series include Physical Review A (PRA) for molecular, atomic, and optical physics; Physical Review B (PRB) for condensed matter and materials; Physical Review C (PRC) for nuclear physics; Physical Review D (PRD) for particles, field, gravity, and cosmology; and Physical Review E (PRE) for statistical, nonlinear, and soft matter physics. Additionally, Applied Physics Letters is recognized as a competitive journal, albeit more challenging to publish in.

been called Physical Review Lottery a few times -- and people have been pissed with it because it can be a bit cliquey.)
