Applied Physics Letters (APL) features concise, up-to-date reports on significant new findings in applied physics. Emphasizing rapid dissemination of key data and new physical insights, APL offers prompt publication of new experimental and theoretical papers reporting applications of physics phenomena to all branches of science, engineering, and modern technology.

In addition to regular articles, the journal also publishes invited Fast Track, Perspectives, and in-depth Editorials which report on cutting-edge areas in applied physics.

APL Perspectives are forward-looking invited letters which highlight recent developments or discoveries. Emphasis is placed on very recent developments, potentially disruptive technologies, open questions and possible solutions. They also include a mini-roadmap detailing where the community should direct efforts in order for the phenomena to be viable for application and the challenges associated with meeting that performance threshold. Perspectives are characterized by personal viewpoints and opinions of recognized experts in the field.

Fast Track articles are invited original research articles that report results that are particularly novel and important or provide a significant advancement in an emerging field. Because of the urgency and scientific importance of the work, the peer review process is accelerated. If, during the review process, it becomes apparent that the paper does not meet the Fast Track criterion, it is returned to a normal track.

《应用物理快报》（APL）刊登了简明、最新的应用物理学重大新发现报告。APL 强调快速传播关键数据和新的物理见解，及时发表新的实验和理论论文，报告物理现象在科学、工程和现代技术各个分支中的应用。

除了常规文章外，该期刊还发表受邀的《快讯》、《观点》和深入的社论，报道应用物理学的前沿领域。

APL 观点是前瞻性的邀请信，重点介绍最近的发展或发现。重点关注最近的发展、潜在的颠覆性技术、悬而未决的问题和可能的解决方案。它们还包括一个小型路线图，详细说明社区应将努力方向引导到何处，以使现象可行应用，以及与达到该性能阈值相关的挑战。观点以该领域公认专家的个人观点和意见为特征。

快速通道文章是受邀的原创研究文章，报告的结果特别新颖和重要，或在新兴领域提供重大进展。由于工作的紧迫性和科学重要性，同行评审过程会加快。如果在审查过程中发现论文不符合快速通道标准，则会将其返回正常轨道。

该刊已被国际权威数据库SCIE收录，该刊致力于发表经过严格同行评审的高质量原创文章，反映物理-物理：应用领域的新进展、新技术、新成果，促进该领域科研交流和科研成果转化。该刊2023年影响因子为3.5，平均审稿速度为 约1.4个月 ，近四年来没有被列入预警名单。如果您需要投稿发表服务及指导，可以联系我们的客服老师，我们专业专注服务期刊投稿协助10年，为您提供期刊投稿个性化定制服务，并且我们确保严格保密您的个人信息及稿件内容。
