Open Physics (formerly Central European Journal of Physics) is a peer-reviewed Open Access scientific journal, devoted to the publication of fundamental research results in all fields of physics. The so-called mega journal publishes research and review articles, rapid and short communications. The journal is published by De Gruyter Open (Walter de Gruyter imprint) and the editor-in-chief Jonathan L. Feng (University of California, Irvine).
History
The journal was established in 2003 as the Central European Journal of Physics. It was co-published by Versita (since 2012 part of Walter de Gruyter) and Springer Science+Business Media. The founding editor-in-chief was Janos Lendvai (Eotvos Lorand University, Budapest), who was succeeded in 2004 by Vladimir E. Zakharov (University of Arizona and Lebedev Physical Institute) and in 2011 by Jonathan L. Feng (University of California, Irvine).
By the end of 2014 the journal ceased to be published with Springer. In 2014 the journal was moved to De Gruyter Open imprint and, starting from Volume 2015, becomes Open Physics and operates according to an open access model.
