What are the top 10 physics journals besides Physical Review?

Gentlemen and Lady,


Assuming that Physical Review is the #1 journal to get published in,
what would the top 10 be?

Love,

No it's not. For many areas of physics, it is Science and Nature that are the #1 journals to publish in. For high energy physics, it is PRL.

I didn't know that! Thanks, ZZ. I really didn't think I would get a serious answer in the General Discussion forum.

You singled out PRL. But what about PR(A-Z)?

PRL is meant to be written for a general physics audience, based on specilisations in the Phys. Rev. Series...

PRA: Molecular, Atomic and Optical.

PRB: Condensed Matter and Materials.

PRC: Nuclear.

PRD: Particles, Field, Gravity, Cosmology.

PRE: Statistical, Nonlinear and Soft Matter.

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

There are a lot more which are harder to get into though, eg. Applied Physics Letters.

PRZ: that's by invitation from the Queen, only
