Aims & Scope

Few-Body Systems is a single-blind peer-reviewed journal that provides a forum for original research work – experimental, theoretical or computational – investigating the behavior of any classical or quantum system consisting of a small number of well-defined constituent structures. The focus is on the research methods, properties, and results characteristic of few-body systems. The journal also publishes research work in the form of letters, rapid communications, comments, reviews or progress reports. The range of topics is extensive: Few-quark states, light nuclear and hadronic systems Few-electron atomic systems and small molecules Specific systems in condensed matter and surface physics (such as quantum dots and highly correlated trapped systems) Large-scale systems such as celestial structures Interdisciplinary contributions that foster common approaches and insights, introduce and benchmark the use of novel tools (e.g. machine learning) and develop relevant applications (e.g. few-body aspects in quantum technologies).

Frequently asked questions about Few-Body Systems

Is Few-Body Systems a predatory journal?

PubScope has no integrity flags on record for Few-Body Systems: it is indexed in Web of Science, Scopus, and is not on DOAJ's withdrawn list. Indexing is a transparency signal, not a guarantee — always confirm fit and policies before submitting.

What is the impact factor of Few-Body Systems?

Few-Body Systems is indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection, so Clarivate publishes an official Journal Impact Factor for it (since the 2023 Journal Citation Reports, every Core Collection journal — including Arts & Humanities and Emerging Sources titles — receives one). PubScope links to Clarivate's official source rather than reprinting the number, which can be out of date. Its open 2-year mean citedness is 1.45.

Is Few-Body Systems indexed in Scopus and Web of Science?

Few-Body Systems is indexed in Web of Science, Scopus.
