About the journal
Physics Letters A
Physics Letters A offers an exciting publication outlet for novel and frontier physics. It encourages the submission of new research on: condensed matter physics, theoretical physics, nonlinear science, statistical physics, mathematical and computational physics, general and cross-disciplinary physics (including foundations), atomic, molecular and cluster physics, plasma and fluid physics, optical physics, biological physics and nanoscience. No articles on High Energy and Nuclear Physics are published in Physics Letters A. The journal's high standard and wide dissemination ensures a broad readership amongst the physics community. Rapid publication times and flexible length restrictions give Physics Letters A the edge over other journals in the field.

Instructions to Authors
Submission of papers
Authors are encouraged to submit their papers using the Physics Letters A online submission tool. Alternatively authors can submit by sending three hard copies of the manuscript and matching disk or email directly to an editor who is an expert in the field of work being submitted. For specific enquiries on the preparation of electronic figures, consult http://www.elsevier.com/locate/authorartwork/. A current list of members of the Board of Editors is supplied at the journal homepage (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/pla) and is also published in every issue.
Original material. By submitting a paper for publication in Physics Letters A the authors imply that the material has not been published previously nor has been submitted for publication elsewhere and that the authors have obtained the necessary authority for publication.
Refereeing. All contributions will be refereed. The Editors reserve the right to edit contributions, whenever necessary, and to refuse papers which in their opinion do not satisfy conditions as to standard or contents.
Types of contributions
The length of the papers is not formally limited, but expedient and compact formulation, appropriate to a letters journal, is expected. The Editor may require the removal of figures, lengthy introductions, derivations, descriptions of apparatus or speculations if these are not essential for the efficient and clear communication of important new results. An abstract of less than 50 words is required.
Manuscript preparation
All manuscripts should be written in good English. The paper copies of the text should be prepared with double line spacing and wide margins,on numbered sheets. See notes opposite on electronic versions of manuscripts.
Structure.Please adhere to the following order of presentation: Article title, Author(s), Affiliation(s), Abstract, PACS codes and keywords, Main text, Acknowledgements, Appendices, References, Figure captions, Tables.
Corresponding author. The name, complete postal address, telephone and fax numbers and the e-mail address of the corresponding author should be given on the first page of the manuscript.
Classification codes/keywords. Please supply one to four classification codes (PACS-1999 and/or MSC) and up to six keywords of your own choice that describe the content of your article in more detail.
References. References to other work should be consecutively numbered in the text using square brackets and listed by number in the Reference list. Please refer to the more detailed instructions for examples.
Illustrations
Illustrations should also be submitted in triplicate: one master set and two sets of copies. The line drawings in the master set should be original laser printer or plotter output with careful lettering, large enough (3-5 mm) to remain legible after reduction for printing. Photographs should be originals, with somewhat more contrast than is required in the printed version. They should be unmounted unless part of a composite figure. Any scale markers should be inserted on the photograph, not drawn below it.
Colour plates. Figures may be published in colour, if this is judged essential by the Editor. The Publisher and the author will each bear part of the extra costs involved. If together with your accepted article, you submit usable colour figures then Elsevier Science, will ensure, at no additional charge, that these figures will appear in colour on the web (e.g., ScienceDirect and other sites) regardless of whether or not these illustrations are reproduced in colour in the printed version. For colour reproduction in print, you will receive information regarding the costs from Elsevier Science after receipt of your accepted article. For further information on the preparation of electronic artwork, please see http://www.elsevier.com/locate/authorartwork.
Please note: Because of technical complications which can arise by converting colour figures to "grey" scale (for the printed version should you not opt for colour in print) please submit in addition usable black and white prints corresponding to all the colour illustrations.
Further information is available from the Publisher.
After acceptance
Notification. The corresponding author will be notified of the acceptance of the article.
Copyright transfer. The corresponding author will be asked to transfer the copyright of the article to the Publisher. This transfer will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information.
Proofs.Authors will receive proofs when an e-mail address is available, and are requested to correct and return them within 24 hours. Authors should answer clearly any question in the proofs. No new material may be inserted in the text at the time of proofreading.
Author benefits
No page charges. Publishing in Physics Letters A is free.
Free offprints. The corresponding author will receive 25 offprints free of charge. An offprint order form will be supplied by the Publisher for ordering any additional paid offprints.
Discount.Contributors to Elsevier Science journals are entitled to a 30% discount on all Elsevier Science books.
Contents Alert. Physics Letters A is included in Elsevier's pre-publication service Contents Alert and CoDaS.
