About the journal
Physics in Perspective
Physics in Perspective (PIP) was created to convey to a broad spectrum of readers a deeper understanding and appreciation of the way physics is conducted, of its content and application, and of the profound influence that physics has had in changing our conception of the natural world and in shaping our modern scientific and technological culture. The journal strives to deepen the reader¡¯s physics «literacy?and thereby bridge the gulf between the physicist and the non-physicist by encouraging the publication of historical and philosophical studies. Such studies are essential to understanding a field whose complex achievements are the result of an often unpredictable, and often cross-disciplinary, interplay of observation, experiment and theory, occurring over extended periods of time.
The scope of subject matter is virtually limitless. Historical articles can be situated in any cultural context and in any period of time. Authors can explore the theoretical and experimental foundations of physics; the nature and achievements of physics in academic, governmental, and industrial settings; its role as both a source and product of new instruments and devices; how it has extended into allied scientific disciplines such as astrophysics, chemical physics and geophysics. Philosophical articles can focus on any subject that makes explicit connections to the foundation or history of the field. Papers may take the form of first-person or biographical accounts, review articles or close-ups on specialized topics. One quality, however, must be common to each contribution: the power to make the results of historical and philosophical studies vibrant and exciting to physicists, teachers, students and the public at large.

Instructions to Authors
Authorship
Submission of a manuscript implies
that the work described has not been published before;
that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere;
that its publication has been approved by all coauthors, if any, as well as by the responsible authorities at the institute where the work has been carried out;
that, if and when the manuscript is accepted for publication, the authors agree to automatically transfer the copyright to the publisher; and
that the manuscript will not be published elsewhere in any language without the consent of the copyright holder.
The Editorial Process
There is no rigid page limit for papers or review articles, but overly long ones will require special justification to be published.
The receipt of a manuscript will be acknowledged promptly. If the Editors-in-Chief judge the manuscript to be evidently unsuitable for publication in Physics in Perspective, it will be returned to the author provided a self-addressed, stamped envelope (or international reply coupon) has been enclosed. If the Editors-in-Chief judge the manuscript to be worthy of consideration for publication in Physics in Perspective, it will be sent to one or more referees who are competent to judge it and who will remain anonymous to the author. After the manuscript has been refereed, the Editors-in-Chief will notify the author of its acceptance or rejection for publication, and if accepted, of any revisions required prior to publication.
Manuscript Submission
Four copies of the manuscript should be submitted to:
Roger H. Stuewer
Tate Laboratory of Physics
University of Minnesota
116 Church Street SE
Minneapolis, MN 55455 (USA)
One copy of the manuscript should be submitted to:
John S. Rigden
American Institute of Physics
One Physics Ellipse
College Park, MD 20740 (USA)
Format of Manuscripts
General Remarks
Manuscripts should be typewritten in pica type or processed in 12-point font using a letter-quality printer. They should be double-spaced throughout, including quotations and footnotes, on paper of standard size and weight, with margins of at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) on all sides. The right-hand margin should be left ragged (unjustified) to facilitate readibility. Quotations of more than a few lines should be indented and not enclosed in quotation marks. All special characters and diacritical marks must be included and clearly indicated. Italics should be indicated by underlining in the text.
Title Page
The title page of the manuscript should include
the title of the paper in quotation marks;
an abbreviated title of no more than 60 characters to be used as a running head;
the author's full name and mailing address, telephone and fax numbers, and e-mail address;
a short biographical note (25 words or less) that will be printed at the end of the article;
an abstract of no more than 150 words in length;
a short list of appropriate keywords.
Names and Dates
The first time a proper name is given in the text, the full name (or initials when the full name is unknown) should be given; subsequently, only the last name need be given. Dates should be given in the usual form (month, day, year), for example May 5, 1968.
Tables, Figures and Photographs
They are designed to enhance the reader's understanding. Glossy prints of a reasonable size must be furnished for all photographs. Line drawings should be directly reproducible. The positions of these items in the text should be clearly marked. Captions for all photographs, figures, and tables must be included and listed on a separate page or pages at the end of the manuscript.
Authors bear the responsibility of obtaining appropriate permissions to reproduce any photographs or other copyrighted materials that appear in their articles.
Footnotes and Endnotes
Authors should distinguish between footnotes, which are explanatory in nature, and endnotes, which are citations to the literature. Explanatory footnotes should be designated by an asterisk (*), double asterisk (**), etc., on a given page of the text. The footnotes themselves should be listed on a separate sheet or sheets at the end of the text and identified as *[p.3], *[p.6], **[p.6], etc. Endnotes should be numbered consecutively and appear as raised Arabic numerals in the text. The endnotes themselves should be listed on a separate sheet or sheets in numerical order at the end of the text. The number of both footnotes and endnotes should be kept as small as possible. Remember that Physics in Perspective is directed to a general, non-specialized audience. Endnotes or citations, in particluar, should be viewed only as a guide to the literature, and not as providing a comprehensive survey of it. A quotation from a previously published work should be acknowledged with an endnote whose number should appear in the text at the end of the quotation.
Citations
Citations to the literature should be in the language of first publication. The first time a journal is cited, its full title (e.g. Physical Review) should be given; subsequently, an abbreviated title (e.g. Phys. Rev.) may be used. Both beginning and ending page numbers must be given.
a) Citations to books should follow the following examples:
John M. Blatt and Victor F. Weisskopf, Theoretical Nuclear Physics (New York: Wiley, 1953), p. 27.
James Chadwick, ed., The Collected Papers of Lord Rutherford of Nelson, O.M., F.R.S., 3 vols., Vol. 2: Manchester (London: allen and Unwin, 1963), pp. 83-87 (hereafter cited as CPR).
b) Citations to articles in journals or anthologies should follow the following examples:
Eugene Wigner, «On the Mass Defect of Helium? Physical Review 43 (1933), 252-257.
Philip Dee, «Some Reminiscences of the Discovery of the Neutron? in John Hendry, ed., Cambridge Physics in the Thirties (Bristol: Hilger, 1984), 46-48.
Albert Einstein, «Eine Theorie der Grundlagen der Thermodynamik? Annalen der Physik 11 (1903), 170-187; reprinted in John Stachel, ed., The Collected Papers of Albert Einstein, Vol. 2: The Swiss Years: Writings, 1900-1909 (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1989), 77-94 (hereafter cited as CPAE).
c) For immediately following citations, use the form Ibid., p. 28; for others follow the following examples:
Blatt and Weisskopf, Nuclear Physics (ref. 28), p. 37.
Wigner, «Mass Defect?(ref. 33), p. 255.
Submission of Final Version of Manuscripts
The final version of the manuscript should be submitted to:
Roger H. Stuewer
Tate Laboratory of Physics
University of Minnesota
116 Church Street SE
Minneapolis, MN 55455 (USA)
Authors are encouraged to deliver the final version of the manuscript with an accompanying diskette. This may substantially facilitate the publication process provided certain points are taken into consideration:
- Texts on diskette should be delivered in either DOS or Macintosh format.
- Texts on diskette should be saved and delivered in two separate versions: with standard text format as offered by your word processing program, and in addition in Rich Text Format (RTF) or as a ASCII file (most editors have an option to save files in such form).
- The final hard copy of the manuscript should be submitted together with the diskette.
The electronic and printed versions must be absolutely identical.
- All pictorial and graphic illustrations should be delivered as hard copy originals and must be 200 % of the final printed size.
- Digital drawings and graphs should be submitted in Encapsulated PostScript (EPS).
Do not fail to include a hard copy for ready viewing.
- Back-up copies of the diskettes must be kept.
