Choosing where to submit a physics and astronomy paper means weighing scope, access and cost against a deadline. These are the physics and astronomy journals Journal Hunt indexes, and the fastest way through them is to paste your abstract.

How to choose a physics and astronomy journal

Aims-and-scope pages describe what a journal would like to publish. What it has published in the last few years is a better guide, and it is what Journal Hunt compares your abstract against — across 488 physics and astronomy journals at once, rather than one publisher’s list at a time.

Of those, 201 (41%) are open access. An article processing charge is worth checking before you submit rather than after acceptance, and it is shown on every journal page here.

Most active physics and astronomy journals

Ranked by how much they publish, which is a measure of size rather than of quality. Follow any of them for its scope, access terms and charges.

Find the one that fits your paper

A list cannot tell you whether your manuscript belongs in any of these. Paste your abstract and Journal Hunt will rank all 488 of them against what you have actually written.
