Physical Review E (PRE) is a broad and interdisciplinary journal focusing on collective phenomena of many-body systems. As the premier journal in the interrelated areas of statistical, nonlinear, biological, and soft matter physics, PRE covers recent developments in complex fluids, polymers, liquid crystals, and granular materials. The journal also includes sections on solid mechanics, fluid dynamics, plasma physics, computational physics, networks, and complex systems.

Expansive Scope and Readership
Established in 1993, PRE is distinguished by the breadth of the subject areas it covers and its wide distribution and readership. PRE provides an authoritative venue for high-quality work in traditional and emerging research areas, making it an essential resource for multiple disciplines. PRE coordinates with other members of the Physical Review journal family to serve new subspecialties as they develop.

PRE covers a wide range of traditional and interdisciplinary physics topics, including:

Statistical physics
Nonlinear dynamics and chaos
Networks and complex systems
Biological physics
Polymers
Colloids, complex fluids, and active matter
Liquid crystals
Films and interfaces
Granular materials
Solid mechanics
Fluid dynamics
Plasma physics
Computational physics
