About Physical Review E
Physical Review E (PRE), interdisciplinary in scope, focuses on many-body phenomena, including recent developments in quantum and classical chaos and soft matter physics. It has sections on statistical physics, equilibrium and transport properties of fluids, liquid crystals, complex fluids, polymers, chaos, fluid dynamics, plasma physics, classical physics, and computational physics. In addition, the journal features sections on two rapidly growing areas: biological physics and granular materials.

Article Number
PRE is published electronically one article at a time. Articles are identified by volume number and a six-digit article number (instead of volume and page number), for example, Phys. Rev. E 63, 016122 (2001). This format allows articles to be fully citable as soon as they are published electronically, while maintaining the same identifier for both the electronic and print version.

Abstracting/Indexing Includes
Current Physics Index, INSPEC, Medline, Physics Abstracts.
Features for Authors
- Free Color Online - There is no charge for color figures in our online journals. (For print journals there is an additional per figure charge. More information.)
