Solstice: an electronic journal of Geography and Mathematics
{www.imagenet.org}

"The purpose of Solstice is to promote interaction between geography and mathematics. Articles in which elements of one discipline are used to shed light on the other are particularly sought. Also welcome are original contributions that are purely geographical or purely mathematical. These may be prefaced (by editor or author) with commentary suggesting directions that might lead toward the desired interactions."

Brazilian Journal of Physics
{http://www.sbfisica.org.br/bjp/}

Indexed in: INSPEC

"The Brazilian Journal of Physics, edited each three months by the Sociedade Brasileira de Física, publishes regular papers and reviews in Physics. Published from 1992, the journal replaces the former Revista Brasileira de Física, and accepts articles that should be timely and present original and significant results."

Journal of High Energy Physics
{http://www.iop.org/EJ/journal/JHEP}

Indexed in: Web of Science, MathSciNet

"The Journal of High Energy Physics (JHEP) is a scientific journal written, run, and distributed by electronic means. It is made possible by the existence of the World Wide Web on Internet which is widely used by the international community of physicists. The purpose of the journal is to explore the new media and take advantage of their innovative qualities: the rapidity of communication, broad diffusion, and low costs. We believe that it is possible to guarantee the same high standard of present day leading scientific journals, but at a much lower cost. In the first experimental period of a few years, the cost will be covered by sponsoring agencies."

Journal of Research of the National Institute of Standards and Technology
http://nvl.nist.gov/pub/nistpubs/jres/jres.htm

"Living Reviews in Relativity is a solely WWW-based, peer reviewed journal, publishing as the name suggests, reviews of research in all areas of relativity. The journal is offered as a free service to the scientific community. Articles are solicited from specialists in their fields and are directed toward physicists at the graduate student level and beyond. Articles appearing in Living Reviews provide current and insightful overviews of what's happening in the fields they cover as well as annotated insights (and where possible, active links) into the key literature and online resources pertaining to these fields. One of the most important features of Living Reviews is that its articles are kept up to date by their authors. This is the significance of the word 'Living' in the journal's title."

Mathematical Physics Electronic Journal
http://www.ma.utexas.edu/mpej/MPEJ.html

Indexed in: MathSciNet

"The intention of the journal is to publish papers in Mathematical Physics and related areas that are of the highest possible quality. Research papers and review articles are selected through a normal refereeing process, overseen by an editorial board. The research subjects will be primarily on Mathematical Physics; but this should not be interpreted as a limitation, as the editors feel that essentially all subjects of Mathematics and Physics are in principle relevant to Mathematical Physics."
