Physics Physique Физика
Physics Physique Физика, also known as various punctuations of Physics, Physique, Fizika, and as Physics for short, was a scientific journal published from 1964 through 1968.[1][2] Founded by Philip Warren Anderson and Bernd T. Matthias, who were inspired by wide-circulation literary magazines like Harper's, the journal's original goal was to print papers of interest to scientists in all branches of physics.[3][4] It is best known for publishing John Stewart Bell's paper on the result now known as Bell's theorem.[2][5] Failing to attract sufficient interest as an unspecialized journal, Physics Physique Физика soon focused on solid-state physics before folding altogether in 1968.[4] The four volumes of this journal were eventually made freely available online by the American Physical Society.[6] Bell chose to publish his theorem in this journal because it did not require page charges, and at the time it in fact paid the authors who published there. Because the journal did not provide free reprints of articles for the authors to distribute, however, Bell had to spend the money he received to buy copies that he could send to other physicists.[4] While the articles printed in the journal themselves listed the publication's name simply as Physics, the covers carried the trilingual version Physics Physique Физика to reflect that it would print articles in English, French and Russian.[2] In 1967, the unusual title caught the attention of John Clauser, who then discovered Bell's paper and began to consider how to perform a Bell test experiment in the laboratory.[7] Clauser and Stuart Freedman would go on to perform a Bell test experiment in 1972.[8] Selected publicationsThe following are among the most highly cited articles published in the journal during its four-year time span.
