Exploring the frontiers of physics
Our vision is for EPL to become a leading home for global physics letters, to offer rapid publication of ground-breaking physics results from the international community, and to provide the broadest coverage of physics research. This website features the latest news about the journal and is the primary contact point for authors, referees and readers.

Quo vadis EPL?
With effect of January 1st, 2007 ‘Europhysics Letters’ was renamed, the new branding being ‘EPL’. Along with this formal change went a new vision and definition for the aims of EPL over a time horizon of five years.Read the latest progress update in a New Year Editorial here.
Open Access Opportunity for Authors of Experimental and Theoretical HEP Articles
EPL is delighted to offer open access free of charge to all authors submitting experimental and theoretical letters in PACS codes 10 and 20. This offer will remain open until the SCOAP3 agreement at CERN takes effect.
Authors submitting any article to EPL will continue to be offered the opportunity to make their published letter open access for a one-off payment. However, with effect from 1 November 2008, any author who submits work related to subject areas within PACS 10 and 20 will benefit from open access at no charge, meaning their published article will be available free to all readers, forever. ‘Physics of Elementary Particles and Fields’ and ‘Nuclear Physics’ are two research areas focussing on the HEP community, that the EPLA Directors recognise as significant to the broadband development of EPL, and they endeavour to increase the number of high quality research letters published in these fields, to engage more closely with the High Energy Physics community, and to strengthen and promote the journal.
All submitted articles will still be subject to rigorous peer review to maintain the high standard of articles published in EPL, and will benefit from expert leadership within the Editorial Board and rapid publication in addition to open access. You are invited to submit your paper now to take advantage of this fantastic offer.
