We are pleased to announce that we have published the first papers in PhysMath Central's inaugral journal, PMC Physics A. The journal, covering high-energy and particle physics along with cosmology, gravity and associated instrumentation and data analysis - published four open access articles earlier today.

To read all of the articles for free, simply visit the journal homepage or click on one of the links below to access the article directly:

We also have a video interview with PMC Physics A Editor-in-Chief, Ken Peach, in which Ken explains why open access is important in science in general and physics in particular. To view the video, go to the PhysMath Central homepage.

As well as publishing our first articles in PMC Physics A, we are proud to announce another open access journal in the PhysMath Central stable -
PMC Physics B
.

PMC Physics B will cover all areas of condensed matter research along with atomic, molecular and optical physics. We are also aiming to be the journal of choice for research at the interface of these two areas.

The journal will have two Editors-in-Chief, Profs. Peter Hatton and Stephen Buckman.

Professor Peter Hatton is Head of the Condensed Matter Research Group at the University of Durham and has published more than 100 papers in neutron scattering, orbital physics, resonant soft x-ray scattering, strongly correlated electron systems, superconductors and x-ray scattering.

Professor Stephen Buckman is Research Director of the Australian Research Council's Centre of Excellence for Antimatter-Matter Studies, focusing on absolute scattering measurements of low energy, electron-driven processes in atoms and molecules, scattering from excited atoms and molecules, and the elucidation of resonance excitation mechanisms in electron collisions.

Speaking of his new role, Buckman said, "I am delighted to be working with PhysMath Central and to be one of the editors for this ambitious journal. As well as providing a open access option for scientists to publish their very best work on condensed matter or AMO physics, we are particularly excited to cover emerging areas which were traditionally at the interface of one or the other discipline."

To celebrate the launch of this new journal, publication in PMC Physics B will be free for submissions received before 1 December 2007. Submit your article now!
