Physics Essays is a quarterly journal covering theoretical and experimental physics. It was established in 1988 and the editor-in-chief is Emilio Panarella.

The journal has a reputation for being a "free forum where extravagant views on physics (in particular, those involving parapsychology) are welcome".[1] The journal has been accused of charging authors for publication without disclosing the fees up front.[2]

In the 1990s, the journal was published by University of Toronto Press.[2] Beginning in 2009, and for some period of time, the journal was affiliated with the American Institute of Physics, which managed subscriptions.[3][4][5][6]

In 2003, the journal published a paper describing Randell Mills' hydrino theory, which is both at odds with quantum mechanics and widely rejected by physicists.[7][8] In 2004, the journal published an author from Himachal Pradesh who claimed to prove that the usual mathematical expression of mass-energy equivalence was not valid in general, a claim he said was being ignored by the wider scientific community.[9][10] In 2017, the journal published an article from an amateur physicist who claimed to redefine the elementary charge and eliminate the fine structure constant, directly in contradiction to mainstream physics.[11]

Abstracting and indexing

The journal is indexed and abstracted in the following bibliographic databases:

The journal was indexed in Current Contents/Physical, Chemical, and Earth Sciences and the Science Citation Index Expanded until it was dropped in 2015.[16] Its last impact factor, according to the 2014 Journal Citation Reports, was 0.245 for 2013.[17] Scopus similarly dropped its coverage in 2017, at the time ranking 174 out of 205 in the category "General Physics and Astronomy".[18] For most recent years, until it was de-listed by Scopus in 2017, it was ranked by SCImago Journal Rank as a fourth-quartile journal under the category "Physics and Astronomy (miscellaneous)".[19] Presently, it is included in the Emerging Sources Citation Index[14] with a 2022 impact factor of 0.6.[20]
