We at Frontiers are honored to share that Frontiers in Physics and Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences have been added to the Recognized Journals list of the European Physical Society. This recognition reflects the community’s trust in our rigorous and high- quality peer review. We will continue to uphold a trustworthy peer review process to further our mission: to keep science open for everyone.
Frontiers in Physics, a multidisciplinary journal established in 2013, features 22 sections that cover all areas of physics, from theoretical, to computational, to experimental. Some of the largest sections include Condensed Matter Physics, Optics and Photonics, and Social Physics. The journal is led by Field Chief Editor Professor Alex Hansen (Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway). As of January 2026, Frontiers in Physics contains over 5,500 articles and 54,000 citations across all sections, corresponding to an Impact Factor of 2.1 and CiteScore of 4.6.
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences is a multidisciplinary journal established in 2014. Field Chief Editor Julio Navarro (University of Victoria, Canada) leads the journal, which contains 14 sections that explore all areas of astronomy and space sciences. Some of the largest sections include Cosmology, Space Physics, and Stellar and Solar Physics. As of January 2026, Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences contains over 1,800 articles and 15,000 citations across all sections, corresponding to an Impact Factor of 2.6 and CiteScore of 4.7.
Both journals are indexed in Scopus, Web of Science (SCIE), the DOAJ, and more. Additionally, both journals accept a wide range of article types, including but not limited to original research articles, reviews, perspectives, and methods. Dedicated editors and reviewers in each journal help handle and review these articles. We at Frontiers sincerely thank our editorial boards for helping us achieve this recognition.
Through this new collaboration, we are eager to make new connections across the European Physical Society. We look forward to supporting EPS members and the wider community by publishing rigorous, impactful research across physics and the space sciences.
