Annalen der Physik
Annalen der Physik is a German scientific journal founded in 1799. It published landmark physics papers, including several by Albert Einstein.
Einstein's 1905 papers: Five papers Albert Einstein published in 1905, addressing light, Brownian motion, special relativity, and mass–energy equivalence. Annalen der Physik published four of these papers, including his relativity work.
Friedrich Albrecht Carl Gren: A German chemist and physicist who founded the journal that became Annalen der Physik. Gren established its predecessor in 1799.
Albert Einstein: A theoretical physicist whose work reshaped modern understandings of space, time, gravity, and quantum phenomena. His papers in the journal include several of his most influential contributions.
Scientific journal: A periodical that publishes scholarly research, reviews, or other work within scientific fields. Annalen der Physik is a long-running example of this publication form.
Photoelectric effect: The emission of electrons from a material when it absorbs light of sufficient frequency. Einstein's 1905 explanation of this effect appeared in the journal.
Journal of Physics: A periodical devoted to research and scholarship in physics. Annalen der Physik belongs to the long-running tradition of physics journals.
Max Planck: A German theoretical physicist who introduced the quantum hypothesis in 1900. Annalen der Physik published his work on blackbody radiation.
Peer review: Evaluation of scholarly work by people with relevant expertise before publication or acceptance. Its changing practices help explain how the journal selected scientific contributions.
Brownian motion: The irregular motion of particles suspended in a fluid, caused by collisions with its molecules. A 1905 paper in Annalen der Physik used it to support the molecular theory of matter.
Johann Christian Poggendorff: A German physicist and scientific editor who led the journal for decades in the nineteenth century. His editorship shaped the journal's identity and reach.
