You are kindly requested, whenever appropriate, to keep the Annalen editorial policy in mind, as follows:
"Starting with the second issue of Vol. 7 (8th series, 1998), a slightly revised editorial policy is becoming effective. Annalen der Physik - one of the world's oldest journals for physics - continues to publish high quality articles on topics in experimental, theoretical, applied, and mathematical physics and related areas. As the readers are from all disciplines in physics, the authors are requested to adjust their presentation accordingly. In original papers, a tutorial introduction should be given, explaining carefully the context of the work, as well as a similarly organized conclusion.
In particular, the editors would like to attract review articles. Articles in style and size between an original paper and a review are also welcome. In principle, there is no length limitation, though an article length of about 40 pages (as printed) should be exceeded only in special cases. (Original papers should be shorter.) Exceptional dissertation and habilitation theses, usually after revision, will be considered."
We are aware that refereeing is time consuming and a considerable burden. Thank you in advance for supporting Annalen der Physik with your report!
With my best regards
Ulrich Eckern
Editor in Chief
