As in previous years, the internationally renowned APS portfolio leads physics publishing in quality, breadth, and depth of coverage, making APS the world’s premier scientific society publisher. Physical Review Letters, Physical Review X, and the Physical Review series publish high-impact, innovative, original research, while Reviews of Modern Physics continues to set the standard for comprehensive, in-depth, and authoritative reviews in all areas of physics. The 2017 catalog introduces a number of important developments of the APS journal portfolio. The first is the launch of Physical Review Fluids in May 2016, a new online-only journal devoted to the publication of high- ”The internationally quality, innovative research in fluid dynamics. This latest renowned APS addition to the Physical Review family shares the same portfolio leads physics values of quality, timeliness, and service to the community publishing in quality, that authors, readers, and subscribers have come to expect from the APS journals and is endorsed by the APS Division breadth, and depth of of Fluid Dynamics. coverage, making APS the world’s premier Another important development involves Physical Review scientific society Applied, APS’s journal dedicated to publishing research at the publisher.” intersection of physics and engineering. This year, Physical Review Applied received its initial Impact Factor of 4.061 for the citations its 2014 articles received in 2015. While acknowledging that Impact Factors are only one measure of a journal’s quality and influence, this strong debut is a very positive endorsement by the community that puts a society-based journal into a leading position in applied physics. Finally, the 2017 catalog contains two rebranded titles: Physical Review Accelerators and Beams and Physical Review Physics Education Research. Removing Special Topics from their titles reflects their status as full members of the Physical Review journals family. Both journals are online-only gold open access, and along with Physical Review X, make up APS’s fully open access portfolio. The APS journals are more than a record of the best international physics research, they embody the Society’s mission of “the advancement and diffusion of the knowledge of physics.” This commitment to serving the scientific research community continues to be the driving force behind APS and its world-class journal portfolio.

    Modeling Popularity and Reliability of Sources in Multilingual Wikipedia

    information Article Modeling Popularity and Reliability of Sources in Multilingual Wikipedia Włodzimierz Lewoniewski * , Krzysztof W˛ecel and Witold Abramowicz Department of Information Systems, Pozna´nUniversity of Economics and Business, 61-875 Pozna´n,Poland; [email protected] (K.W.); [email protected] (W.A.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 31 March 2020; Accepted: 7 May 2020; Published: 13 May 2020 Abstract: One of the most important factors impacting quality of content in Wikipedia is presence of reliable sources. By following references, readers can verify facts or find more details about described topic. A Wikipedia article can be edited independently in any of over 300 languages, even by anonymous users, therefore information about the same topic may be inconsistent. This also applies to use of references in different language versions of a particular article, so the same statement can have different sources. In this paper we analyzed over 40 million articles from the 55 most developed language versions of Wikipedia to extract information about over 200 million references and find the most popular and reliable sources. We presented 10 models for the assessment of the popularity and reliability of the sources based on analysis of meta information about the references in Wikipedia articles, page views and authors of the articles. Using DBpedia and Wikidata we automatically identified the alignment of the sources to a specific domain. Additionally, we analyzed the changes of popularity and reliability in time and identified growth leaders in each of the considered months. The results can be used for quality improvements of the content in different languages versions of Wikipedia.

In this introductory paper, we make the linkage between the use of big data and Econophysics, a research field which uses a large amount of data and deals with complex systems. Different approaches such as power laws and complex networks are discussed, as possible frameworks to analyze complex phenomena that could be studied using Econophysics and resorting to big data. Keywords: big data; complexity; networks; stock markets; power laws 1. Introduction Big data has become a very popular expression in recent years, related to the advance of technology which allows, on the one hand, the recovery of a great amount of data, and on the other hand, the analysis of that data, benefiting from the increasing computational capacity of devices.

    Citation Statistics from 110 Years of Physical Review

    Citation Statistics from 110 Years of Physical Review Publicly available data reveal long-term systematic features about citation statistics and how papers are referenced. The data also tell fascinating citation histories of individual articles. Sidney Redner he first article published in the Physical Review was Treceived in 1893; the journal’s first volume included 6 issues and 24 articles. In the 20th century, the Phys- ical Review branched into topical sections and spawned new journals (see figure 1). Today, all arti- cles in the Physical Review family of journals (PR) are available online and, as a useful byproduct, all cita- tions in PR articles are electronically available. The citation data provide a treasure trove of quantitative information. As individuals who write sci- entific papers, most of us are keenly interested in how often our own work is cited.

    AMERICAN PHYSICAL SOCIETY Member Services 2018 JANUARY – DECEMBER 2018 GUIDELINES FOR PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT The Constitution of the American Physical Society states that the objective of the Society shall be the advancement and diffusion of the knowledge of physics. It is the purpose of this statement to advance that objective by presenting ethical guidelines for Society members. Each physicist is a citizen of the community of science. Each shares responsibility for the welfare of this community. Science is best advanced when there is mutual trust, based upon honest behavior, throughout the community. Acts of deception, or any other acts that deliberately compromise the advancement of science, are unacceptable. Honesty must be regarded as the cornerstone of ethics in science. Professional integrity in the formulation, conduct, and report- ing of physics activities reflects not only on the reputations of individual physicists and their organizations, but also on the image and credibility of the physics profession as perceived by scientific colleagues, government and the public. It is important that the tradition of ethical behavior be carefully maintained and transmitted with enthusiasm to future generations. The following are the minimal standards of ethical behavior relating to several critical aspects of the physics profession. Physicists have an individual and a collective responsibility to ensure that there is no compromise with these guidelines. RESEARCH RESULTS The results of research should be recorded and maintained in a form that allows analysis and review. Research data should be immediately available to scientific collaborators. Following publication, the data should be retained for a reasonable period in order to be available promptly and completely to responsible scientists.

    Field Theory for Magnetic Monopoles in (Square, Artificial) Spin Ice Field Theory for Magnetic Monopoles in (Square, Artificial) Spin Ice Cristiano Nisoli1 Theoretical Division, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, NM, 87545, USA (Dated: 21 May 2020) Proceeding from the more general to the more concrete, we propose an equilibrium field theory describing spin ice systems in terms of topological charges and magnetic monopoles. We show that for a spin ice on a graph, the entropic interaction in a Gaussian approximation is the inverse of the graph Laplacian matrix, while the screening function for external charges is the inverse of the screened laplacian. We particularize the treatment to square and pyrochlore ice. For square ice we highlight the gauge-free duality between direct and perpendicular structure in terms of symmetry between charges and currents, typical of magnetic fragmentation in a two-dimensional setting. We derive structure factors, correlations, correlation lengths, and susceptibilities for spins, topological charges, and currents. We show that the divergence of the correlation length at low temperature is exponential and inversely proportional to the mean square charge. While in three dimension real and entropic interactions among monopoles are both 3D-Coulomb, in two dimension the former is a 3D-Coulomb and the latter 2D-Coulomb, or logarithmic, leading to weak singularities in correspondence of the pinch points and destroying charge screening. This suggests that the monopole plasma of square ice is a magnetic charge insulator. CONTENTS I. Introduction 2 II. Graph Spin Ice 3 A. Spins on a Graph3 1. Ice Manifold4 2. Coulomb Phases5 3.
