The European Journal of Physics is an international peer-reviewed, scientific journal dedicated to maintaining and improving the standard of physics education in higher education. The journal, published since 1980, is now published by the IOP Publishing on behalf of the European Physical Society.

It does not include original research in physics, but rather:

  • Surveys of research at a level accessible to students
  • Original insights into the derivation of results
  • Descriptions of new laboratory exercises
  • Scholarly or reflective articles at appropriate levels
  • Descriptions of successful original student projects
  • Discussions of the history and philosophy of physics.
  • Reports of new developments in methods for teaching physics and in the physics curriculum.

The editor is Alastair I. M. Rae, formerly lecturer at the School of Physics and Astronomy, University of Birmingham, UK

The journal had an Impact factor of 0.757 for 2010, according to Journal Citation Reports. It is indexed In Chemical Abstracts, Engineering Index/Ei Compendex, Web of Science, Inspec, Zentralblatt für Mathematik, and other services.

It is a subscription journal, but all papers are freely accessible for the first 30 days after publication at the journal web site
