Acta Physica Polonica
Encyclopedia
Acta Physica Polonica is a peer-reviewed physics journal that publishes original research articles. In 1970 it was split into Acta Physica Polonica A (published by the Institute of Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences
), whose scope includes general physics, atomic
and molecular
physics, condensed matter
physics and cross-disciplinary topics, and Acta Physica Polonica B (published by the Jagiellonian University
), which covers mathematical physics
, particle
and nuclear physics
, relativity
, astrophysics
and statistical physics
. The editors-in-chief are Witold D. Dobrowolski and Michal Praszalowicz, respectively. Acta Physica Polonica was established by the Polish Physical Society in 1920.
Acta Physica Polonica A has an impact factor
of 0.34, while the B series has an impact factor of 0.664 (as of June 2009).

Mathematical physics
Mathematical physics refers to development of mathematical methods for application to problems in physics. The Journal of Mathematical Physics defines this area as: "the application of mathematics to problems in physics and the development of mathematical methods suitable for such applications and...

Particle physics
Particle physics is a branch of physics that studies the existence and interactions of particles that are the constituents of what is usually referred to as matter or radiation. In current understanding, particles are excitations of quantum fields and interact following their dynamics...

Nuclear physics
Nuclear physics is the field of physics that studies the building blocks and interactions of atomic nuclei. The most commonly known applications of nuclear physics are nuclear power generation and nuclear weapons technology, but the research has provided application in many fields, including those...

Acta Physica Polonica A has an impact factor
Impact factor
The impact factor, often abbreviated IF, is a measure reflecting the average number of citations to articles published in science and social science journals. It is frequently used as a proxy for the relative importance of a journal within its field, with journals with higher impact factors deemed...
