New Journal of Physics Submission Helper
Guides manuscript framing, scope assessment, and submission readiness for IOP and DPG's New Journal of Physics.
The New Journal of Physics skill assists researchers in evaluating manuscript fit, method completeness, and narrative framing for the open-access New Journal of Physics (NJP). Published jointly by IOP Publishing and DPG, NJP requires significant, high-quality physics research spanning quantum information, AMO, condensed matter, and optics presented to a broad physics readership. This skill helps authors avoid desk rejects, audit evidence and uncertainty bars, align with IOP house styles, and re-route manuscripts to alternative venues like PRX, PRX Quantum, or Physical Review B when appropriate.
Key Features
01Identifies common desk-reject risks like narrow specialist framing or missing error budgets
02Provides a pre-submission self-check for data availability and reproducibility metrics
03Evaluates manuscript scope and significance against NJP's broad-physics standards
04Offers structured house style and IOP LaTeX/Word template alignment checks
05Recommends strategic re-routing to alternative physics venues (PRX, PRB, PRX Quantum)

Use Cases
01Conducting pre-submission audits on open-access compliance, data sharing, and error budgets
02Reframing quantum information, AMO, or condensed matter manuscripts for a broader physics audience
03Assessing if an interdisciplinary or broad physics paper fits NJP versus specialized Physical Review journals
