Fast track your research with Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics

This section is a high-quality, high-profile outlet for new and important research across all areas of atomic, molecular and optical physics.

Reasons to publish a fast track communication (FTC) include:

• Free to read: all FTCs are completely free to read and there is no publication charge
• Fast-track publication: if accepted, you can expect your article to be published in under 54 days
• Fast refereeing: you can expect to receive referee reports in less than 19 days from submission

To be considered as a fast track communication your work must:

• report new and timely developments in atomic, molecular and optical physics
• be written in a clear and concise style
• not exceed six journal pages (5000 words) and not contain sections

How to submit:

• online, http://authors.iop.org/
• by e-mail to jphysb@iop.org by simply entering an arXiv pre-print number or sending your manuscript
