Physical Review
In 1998, the first issue of "Physical Review Special Topics: Accelerators and Beams" was published, and in 2005, "Physical Review Special Topics: Physics Education Research" was launched. In January 2016 the names of both journals were changed to remove "Special Topics". "Physical Review" also started an online magazine, "Physical Review Focus", in 1998 to explain and provide historical context for selected articles from "Physical Review" and "Physical Review Letters". This was merged into "Physics" in 2011. The Special Topics journals are open access; "Physics Education Research" requires page charges from the authors, but "Accelerators and Beams" does not. Though not fully open access, "Physical Review Letters" also requires an author page charge, although this is voluntary. The other journals require such a charge only if manuscripts are not prepared in one of the preferred formats. Since 2011, authors can pay an article processing charge to make their papers open access. Such papers are published under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License (CC-BY). "Physical Review Letters" celebrated their 50th birthday in 2008.
