2004 will see the publication in New Journal of Physics of a Focus Issue on the topic of Neutrino Physics. Its objective is to form an extensive, open-access resource that provides a collective representation of the latest research conducted in the field. The articles below represent the first contributions and further additions from leading groups within the astrophysical, experimental and theoretical neutrino communities will appear later in the year.
