PRX: What Quantum-Materials Papers are suitable?

PRX is published by the American Physical Society, a nonprofit membership society of scientists. Its mission goal is to select around 250 *landmark* papers a year from all fields of physics and showcase them to a broad and multidisciplinary readership. Quantum Materials is undoubtedly a field of high interest to PRX, and also to the Physical Review journal family.<br/><br/>Is your paper a good match for PRX? Or asked differently, what papers qualify as *landmark* papers, especially in the field of quantum materials?<br/><br/>How do the PRX editors actually select such papers? Are such selections always accurate?<br/>How can you, as an author, navigate PRX’s editorial and peer-review process effectively and get the most out of your interactions with the editors and referees?<br/>Many of these questions do not have a black-and-white answer in the case of a single paper. Open-minded, reasoned, and constructive dialogues amongst the authors, the editors, and the referees are key to making each concrete process a meaningful and productive experience, and sometimes even a pleasure, for everyone. I will use the talk to discuss with you how to answer these questions.
