Spotlight
On behalf of the physics community, APS expresses its unequivocal opposition to this sweeping proposed rule change. While these measures directly threaten the physical sciences, their destabilizing effects will also reverberate across the entire American scientific enterprise and the wider economy that depends on it.
The proposed rule would let political preference override expert peer review, restrict international collaboration, reach into the work of running your lab, and weaken the programs that train the next generation of scientists.
PRX Intelligence will publish high-impact research on artificial intelligence and machine learning that advances the physical sciences. The APC will be waived for submissions received within the 2026 calendar year.
APS Open Science is a trusted, community-driven open access journal that publishes high-quality, useful research through rigorous peer review that ensures research from every stage of the scientific process receives the recognition it deserves.
