Astroparticle Physics publishes experimental and theoretical research papers in the interacting fields of Cosmic Ray Physics, Astronomy and Astrophysics, Cosmology and Particle Physics focusing on new developments in the following areas:? High-energy cosmic-ray physics and astrophysics;? Particle cosmology;? Particle astrophysics;? Related astrophysics: supernova, AGN, cosmic abundances, dark matter etc.;? Gravitational waves? High-energy, VHE and UHE gamma-ray astronomy;? High- and low-energy neutrino astronomy;? Instrumentation and detector developments related to the above-mentioned fields.Novelty and relevanceAstroparticle Physics aims to only publish papers with significance to an international audience, containing substantial novelty and scientific impact. The Editors reserve the rights to reject, with or without external review, papers that do not meet these criteria. This could include papers that are very similar to previous publications, or that are out of scope, such as concentrated mostly on very theoretical developments with few direct immediate observational consequences, or lacking a direct connection to either astro- or particle physics.Astroparticle Physics may consider the publication of scientific mission proposal papers. The Editors will jointly decide on the suitability of such papers for the journal, authors are advised to contact one of the Editors directly to discuss proposals.

天體粒子物理學在宇宙線物理學、天文學和天體物理學、宇宙學和粒子物理學等相互作用領(lǐng)域發(fā)表實驗和理論研究論文，重點介紹以下領(lǐng)域的新發(fā)展:?高能宇宙射線物理學和天體物理學;?粒子宇宙學;?粒子天體物理學;?相關(guān)天體物理學:超新星、AGN、宇宙豐度、暗物質(zhì)等;?引力波?高能、VHE和UHE伽馬天文學;?高能和低能中微子天文學;?與上述領(lǐng)域相關(guān)的儀器儀表和檢測器開發(fā)。新奇和相關(guān)性天體粒子物理學的目標是只發(fā)表對國際讀者有意義的論文，其中包含大量的新穎性和科學影響。編輯保留拒絕接受不符合這些標準的論文的權(quán)利，無論是否接受外部審查。這可能包括與以前的出版物非常相似的論文，或者超出范圍的論文，例如主要集中在非常理論的發(fā)展上，幾乎沒有直接的直接觀測結(jié)果，或者缺乏與天文或粒子物理學的直接聯(lián)系。天體粒子物理學可以考慮發(fā)表科學任務(wù)建議書。編輯將共同決定此類論文是否適合該期刊，建議作者直接與其中一位編輯聯(lián)系，討論建議。
