As also confirmed by various measurement standards, which include the Journal Citation Reports impact factor and the journal h-index proposed by Google Scholar, many physicists and other scientists consider Physical Review Letters to be one of the most prestigious journals in the field of physics.[1][2][3]
PRL is published as a print journal, and is in electronic format, online and CD-ROM. This section contains articles suggested by the editors of the journal or which have been covered by the site "Physics" (formerly Physical Review Focus).[5][6]
Historical overview[edit]
On May 20, 1899, 36 physicists gathered to establish the American Physical Society at Columbia University, in the City of New York. Consequently, Physical Review was divided into five separate sections after December 1969 into Physical Review A, B, C, D and E, which are distinct from Physical Review Letters.[7][8]
Abstracting, indexing, and impact factor[edit]
Physical Review Letters is indexed in the following bibliographic databases:[1]
