The journal investigates studies in Nanotechnology, Optoelectronics, Engineering physics, Condensed matter physics and Semiconductor. In addition to Nanotechnology research, it aims to explore topics under Silicon and Electronics. The study on Optoelectronics presented in the journal intersects with subjects under the field of Laser.
Engineering physics and Field (physics) are closely related fields of research discussed in Applied physics reviews. It focuses on Condensed matter physics research which is adjacent to topics in Ferroelectricity.
The published papers investigate studies in Nanotechnology, Optoelectronics, Engineering physics, Condensed matter physics and Electronics. The most cited articles focus on Nanotechnology but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Schottky barrier and Metamaterial. While Optoelectronics is the focus of the most cited papers, it also provides insights into the studies of Passivation and Infrared.
The concepts of Nanotechnology, Engineering physics, Optoelectronics, Chemical engineering and Condensed matter physics are tackled in the journal. While Nanotechnology is the focus of the journal, it also provided insights into the studies of Atom and Electronics. The journal focuses on Engineering physics but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Spintronics, Semiconductor device, Field (physics), Characterization (materials science) and Noise (electronics).
As a part of the journal, discussions in Optoelectronics involve topics like Semiconductor, Photodetector, Heterojunction and Silicon. It investigates Chemical engineering in the context of the closely related subject of areas like
A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.
The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.
The top authors publishing in Applied physics reviews (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in Applied physics reviews (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.
The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.
During the most recent 2021 edition, 6.84% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 22.94% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 11.01% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 22.94% of all publications and 43.12% were from other institutions.
A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.
The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.
The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.
Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).
The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

(2020)Pursuing an online degree physics program offers flexibility and accessibility, especially for those balancing work or other commitments. Many universities now provide affordable online options, making it easier to gain a solid foundation in physics without relocating.
Beyond traditional labs and research roles, physics graduates can explore versatile career options. Some of the best opportunities arise in fields that support remote work. If you’re interested in working from home or preferring a flexible schedule, check out this guide on online degrees for remote jobs, which highlights paths suited to remote careers.
Additionally, specialized fields like forensic science offer unique applications of physics in crime scene analysis and evidence evaluation. For those intrigued by this intersection, exploring forensic career paths reveals strong job prospects and diverse roles that combine science with law enforcement.
Interestingly, a physics background can also lead to leadership roles outside pure science. For example, becoming an athletic director in high schools involves organizational and analytical skills that physics graduates often excel at. Learn more about the steps and earning potential in how to become a high school athletic director.
