Aims and Scope
Physical Review Applied (PRApplied) publishes high-quality papers that bridge the gap between engineering and physics, and between current and future technologies. PRApplied welcomes papers from both the engineering and physics communities, in academia and industry.

PRApplied focuses on topics including:

Biophysics, bioelectronics, and biomedical engineering,
Device physics,
Electronics,
Technology to harvest, store, and transmit energy, focusing on renewable energy technologies,
Geophysics and space science,
Industrial physics,
Magnetism and spintronics,
Metamaterials,
Microfluidics,
Nonlinear dynamics and pattern formation in natural or manufactured systems,
Nanoscience and nanotechnology,
Optics, optoelectronics, photonics, and photonic devices,
Quantum information processing, both algorithms and hardware,
Soft matter physics, including granular and complex fluids and active matter.

I am in the field of optics. In terms of optics, it seems unlikely for PRap to return to the first quartile. There is a significant difference between PRap and other top-tier journals such as NC, PRL, Light, and Optica. Furthermore, there are an increasing number of domestic journals that have taken up some of the spots in the first quartile, making it difficult for PRap to squeeze in.

In addition, in my field, the quality of PRap is comparable to that of Optics Letters (OL), which is classified as a second quartile journal.

The first review took one month, with two people agreeing to review it. It was considered a minor revision, with each person raising three questions. Three days later, the revised version was replied to and sent back to one of the reviewers. After nearly a month, the feedback was received, and they agreed to accept it directly. Overall, the review speed felt quite fast, and the quality was also assured. I hope this journal will continue to improve.
