Launch of physics journals boosts open-access club

摘要

Open-access publisher BioMed Central is launching three new physics journals under the sister brand-name PhysMath Central. They will sit alongside the company's portfolio of 176 biomedical titles. The flagship title, PMC Physics A, will have as its editor-in-chief Ken Peach, director of the University of Oxford's John Adams Institute of Accelerator Science and chair of the scientific-policy committee at CERN, the European particle-physics laboratory near Geneva. It will focus on high-energy and nuclear physics, cosmology, gravity and astroparticle physics.
