Physical Review Applied: A relatively new journal finding its place in a family of journals celebrating 125 years of research publication

Physical Review Applied, the newest member of the Physical Review family of journals, started accepting submissions in December 2013, and its first issue was published in February 2014. PR applied is the first subscription-based journal started by the APS since the 1950’s and was created to respond to the needs of the physics community. Its aim is to publish the highest-quality papers at the intersection of physics and engineering, among other disciplines. In this talk I will present an overview of the Physical Review family of journals, with a focus on this newest addition. I will spend some time on where we are and what makes for a successful submission.
