2018 saw the 20th anniversary of the founding of EPJ, the European Physical Journal. Launched in 1998, EPJ brought together the combined strengths of some long-established national European physics journals, starting with the initial merger of Journal de Physique, Il Nuovo Cimento and Zeitschrift für Physik, and continuing with the adoption and in- corporation of Acta Physica Hungarica, Anales de Fisica, Czechoslovak Journal of Physics, Fizika A, and Portugaliae Physica. e EPJ Scientific Advisory Committee includes now members from 25 European learned societies.
The European Physical Journal (EPJ) consists of a series of high-quality peer-reviewed journals (8 traditional and 8 open access) covering the whole spectrum of pure and applied physics and related interdisciplinary subjects. EPJ also includes the EPJ Web of Conferences and maintains editorial transfer coordination with EPL.
