Presenting JCAP
We’re delighted to present an outstanding new journal, the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics. The journal launched in spring 2003 and is published in partnership between Institute of Physics Publishing and the International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA).
JCAP brings together cutting-edge research in all within the first nine months and have already published aspects of cosmology and particle astrophysics. The over 1000 pages of research. journal’s remit encompasses theoretical, observational JCAP has already fulfilled its promise of being an and experimental areas as well as computation and invaluable resource for scientists working in particle simulation. JCAP has made an immediate impact astrophysics and cosmology, as well as astronomers within the community and has been entered in the Core and physicists working in high energy and particle List of Physics and Astronomy Journals at physics. A subscription to JCAP is an indispensable http://ads.harvard.edu/books/claj/. We reached our addition to any institution with an interest in these fast target of 60 papers to be published in the first year, moving fields of research.
