Aims & Scope

The Journal of High Energy Physics (JHEP) is a full open-access single-blind peer-reviewed journal, fully sponsored by SCOAP 3 and owned by the International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA, Trieste, Italy). JHEP capitalises on the innovative advantages of the new media: rapidity of communication, broad diffusion and the ability to run and distribute a journal solely by electronic means.
