Applied Physics Express or APEX is a journal of letters, with usually no more than three pages per (consise) article. The main purpose is to rapidly publish original, timely, and novel research papers in applied physics. As part of its aim, the journal intends for papers to be novel research that has a strong impact on relevant fields and society. It is notable that the journal considers satisfaction of this criteria as showing the paper merits priority handling in the review and publication processes. In keeping with this aim, its issues are pubilshed online on a weekly basis. The print version is published monthly.

It is actually the policy of APEX is to publish articles of high scientific and / or technological impact, and to value publishing articles in English. The two Editors-in-Chief are Hitoshi Tabata (University of Tokyo) and Kouichi Ono (Kyoto University) In addition, APEX is listed on the 2008 Journal Citation Reports index, under new titles for 2008.
