May 5, 2008 On 14 May 2008, Physical Review Special Topics - Accelerators and Beams is celebrating its 10th anniversary. PRST-AB was founded by Robert Siemann and the APS in 1998 to provide the accelerator community with its own journal, covering all aspects of accelerators from fundamental physics to technology.

April 29, 2008 We recently stated here that peer review is a source of great strength for APS journals, but did not discuss why. What are the elements of a helpful report? Who benefits from such a report, and how?

April 1, 2008
As a service to both our readers and authors, starting April 1 we will formally list a small number of papers published in Physical Review B that the editors and referees find of particular interest, importance, or clarity. These Editors’ Suggestion papers will be listed on prb.aps.org and marked with a special icon in the print and online Tables of Contents and in online searches. The icon contains the printer’s mark that appeared on the covers of all sections of the Physical Review until about a decade ago.

March 10, 2008 The American Physical Society announces a highly selective award program to recognize scientists who have been exceptionally helpful in assessing manuscripts for publication in the APS journals. The program will annually recognize 130 of the 42,000 currently active referees, but in this inaugural year a larger group of 534 referees has been selected for the “Outstanding Referee” designation.

March 6, 2008 Starting today, images from recently published Physical Review B papers will be featured on the new PRB web site in a feature named Kaleidoscope. Images will not appear on the print version of the journal. Selections will be based purely on aesthetic merit. We are looking for attractive and interesting visual images. The figure caption accompanying an image may vary from that in the published article, and the image itself may also be modified. Recently published images will appear on the main web page and in an archive where older images can also be found. We hope you enjoy them.

February 22, 2008 Starting with the 1975 discovery of the tau lepton, I look back on the last three decades of change in the substance and style of experimental and theoretical research in elementary particle physics. I recount the major accomplishments of those decades and predict a bright future for particle physics in the next two decades. Turning to three problems, I lament the change in theoretical style and taste, I discuss the growth in the complexity, size, and cost of particle physics experiments, and I conclude with a pessimistic comment on the size of particle physics collaborations.
