1. Letters

Letters submitted to EPL should contain new results, ideas, concepts, experimental methods, theoretical treatments, including those with application potential and be of broad interest and importance to one or several sections of the physics community. The presentation should satisfy the specialist, yet remain understandable to the researchers in other fields through a suitable, clearly written introduction and conclusion (if appropriate).

2. Comments and Replies

EPL also publishes Comments on Letters previously published in the Journal.

3. Perspectives

Perspectives are invited short reviews in which authors outline recent developments and anticipate future directions in their own research and related domains.
