EPJ - Special Topics (EPJ ST) is a single-blind peer-reviewed journal that is dedicated to the publication of topical issues – either collections of review-type articles or extensive, detailed progress reports from research networks and collaborations. Each issue is focused on a specific subject matter of topical interest. The journal scope covers the whole spectrum of pure and applied physics, including related subjects such as Materials Science, Physical Biology, Physical Chemistry, and Complex Systems with particular emphasis on interdisciplinary topics in physics and related fields.
