Review of Scientific Instruments (RSI) is a monthly journal, published by The American
Institute of Physics, devoted to scientific instruments, apparatus, and techniques. Its contents
include original and review articles on instruments in physics, chemistry, and the life sciences;
book reviews; and sections on new instruments and new materials. One volume is published
annually. Conference proceedings are occasionally published and supplied in addition to the
Journal's scheduled monthly issues.
Editorial policy is to interpret the term "scientific instruments" in the widest sense, as all of the
tools of the scientist. We publish information on instruments, apparatus, techniques of
experimental measurement, and related mathematical analysis. Since the use of instruments is
not confined to the physical sciences, we welcome contributions from any of the physical and
biological sciences and from related cross-disciplinary areas of science and technology.
Review Articles are invited reviews of selected topics in scientific instrumentation and
experimental techniques contributed by experts in the field. Regular Articles are full-length
papers describing original work on significant new ideas in instruments and measurement.
Normally some data demonstrating the performance of an instrument should be included;
proposals for a new instrument without such demonstration are acceptable only if they include
significant analysis of the characteristics of the proposed techniques. Mathematics related to
particular instruments or to measurements science is appropriate. Notes are short contributions,
limited to three (3) printed pages in length; in general, a Note is appropriate for a restricted topic
which can be dealt with in a brief text. Letters to the Editor often discuss issues in previously
published articles, frequently accompanied by a reply from the original authors. However, they
may be devoted to information or comments of a more general nature.
Information for Contributors contains instructions for manuscript preparation and is published in
the first issue of each volume.
As selected by the Associate Editor for New Products, submissions to RSI on new instruments
and components, new detectors, measurement and materials, new literature and software, and
new facilities and hardware are published within a special section of regular monthly issues,
entitled New Products. Literature should be sent directly to the Associate Editor for New
Products.
