I must say, I was very impressed by the first issue.  Why?  Well first of all are the gorgeous color pictures.  Everyone loves color pictures, right?  Seeing a journal of well written, beautifully typeset and illustrated physics articles appeals to the right side of my brain (the part that hasn&#8217;t shriveled away from too much math \ud83d\ude09 )  Second was that, unlike PRL, of which there is absolutely no way one can read all of the articles in a single issue, Nature Physics has a reasonable number of well written articles (at least for this initial issue.)   I see from their author submission page that letters are limited to 1500 words long (typically four pages long)  and articles to 3000 words long, which is a bit more freedom than that afforded by Physical Review Letters.  I suspect that Nature Physics will quickly become a prestigious place to publish ones work.  Of course, in an idealized world, it wouldn&#8217;t matter where you publish your work, as long as it was excellent work.  On the other hand, it is true that due to the selectivity of different journals I&#8217;m more likely to find excellent work in certain journals than in others.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On returning home from Boston (one and a half days late due to 1. a broken plane and 2. a missed connection in Dulles), I found I had received my first copy of Nature Physics.
