Physics Access is an international, open-access, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing knowledge in physics and its diverse applications across science, technology, and engineering. The journal provides a global forum for the communication of rigorous and significant research that deepens understanding of physical phenomena, develops new scientific insights, and contributes to technological and societal advancement. The journal welcomes original research articles, review articles, and emerging contributions spanning all areas of fundamental and applied physics. Its scope extends to interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research where physics provides a substantive foundation, methodology, or contribution. Physics Access encourages research that bridges traditional disciplinary boundaries and explores the role of physics in addressing contemporary scientific, technological, and societal challenges. Manuscripts are assessed primarily on scientific soundness, methodological rigor, originality, clarity, and scholarly integrity, rather than on subjective predictions of future impact. The journal welcomes well-conducted studies that advance knowledge within their respective fields, including replication studies, negative results, and null results, provided they meet established standards of scientific and ethical rigor. Physics Access is committed to inclusive and transparent scholarly communication and to making high-quality physics research openly accessible to the global scientific community. Through rigorous peer review and broad dissemination of scholarly knowledge, the journal seeks to foster research excellence, scientific dialogue, interdisciplinary collaboration, and innovation, while strengthening the contribution of physics to the understanding of nature and to the development of solutions for emerging scientific and technological challenges.
