PHYSICS OF THE SOLID STATE

The journal Physics of the Solid State presents the latest results from Russia’s leading researchers in condensed matter physics at the Russian Academy of Sciences and other prestigious institutions. Coverage includes all areas of solid state physics including solid state optics, solid state acoustics, electronic and vibrational spectra, phase transition, ferroelectricity, magnetism, and superconductivity. The journal also presents review papers on the most important problems in solid state physics.PEER REVIEWPhysics of the Solid State is a peer reviewed journal. We use a single blind peer review format. Our team of reviewers includes over 150 reviewers, both internal and external (50%), from 10 countries (Azerbaijan, Belarus, Czech Republic, Estonia, France, Germany, Moldova, Russia, Ukraine, USA). The average period from submission to first decision in 2017 was 30 days, and that from first decision to acceptance was 10 days. The final decision on the acceptance of an article for publication is made by the Editorial Board.Any invited reviewer who feels unqualified or unable to review the manuscript due to the conflict of interests should promptly notify the editors and decline the invitation. Reviewers should formulate their statements clearly in a sound and reasoned way so that authors can use reviewer’s arguments to improve the manuscript. Personal criticism of the authors must be avoided. Reviewers should indicate in a review (i) any relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors, (ii) anything that has been reported in previous publications and not given appropriate reference or citation, (ii) any substantial similarity or overlap with any other manuscript (published or unpublished) of which they have personal knowledge.

《固体物理学》(Physics of The Solid State)杂志展示了俄罗斯科学院(Russian Academy of Sciences)和其他著名机构凝聚态物理学领域的顶尖研究人员的最新成果。涵盖固态物理的所有领域，包括固态光学、固态声学、电子和振动光谱、相变、铁电、磁性和超导性。该杂志还介绍了固态物理学中最重要问题的评论论文。同行评审《固体物理学》是一本同行评议的期刊。我们使用单一的盲同行评审格式。我们的评审团队包括来自10个国家(阿塞拜疆、白俄罗斯、捷克共和国、爱沙尼亚、法国、德国、摩尔多瓦、俄罗斯、乌克兰、美国)的150多名国内外评审人员(50%)。2017年从提交到首次评审的平均周期为30天，从首次评审到验收的平均周期为10天。接受发表文章的最终决定由编辑委员会作出。被邀请的审稿人因利益冲突，认为不符合审稿条件或者不能审稿的，应当及时通知审稿人，并予以拒绝。审稿人应以一种合理合理的方式清晰地阐述自己的观点，这样作者才能利用审稿人的观点来完善稿件。必须避免对作者的个人批评。评论者应该显示发表的一篇评论(我)任何相关的工作没有被引用的作者,(2)任何已报道在以前的出版物和没有适当的参考或引用,(2)任何实质性相似或重叠与其他手稿(发表或未发表)的个人知识。
