'''''Physical Review E''''' is a [[peer review|peer-reviewed]], [[scientific journal]], published monthly by the [[American Physical Society]]. The main field of interest is collective phenomena of [[Many-body theory|many-body systems]]. It is edited by Dario Corradini as of December 2024. While original research content requires subscription, editorials, news, and other non-research content is [[open access (publishing)|openly accessible]].

==Scope== Although the focus of this journal is [[Many-body theory|many-body phenomena]], the broad scope of the journal includes [[quantum chaos]], soft matter physics, classical [[chaos theory|chaos]], biological physics and granular materials.

Also emphasized are [[statistical physics]], equilibrium and transport properties of fluids, [[liquid crystal]]s, complex fluids, [[polymer]]s, chaos, [[fluid dynamics]], [[plasma (physics)|plasma physics]], [[classical physics]], and [[computational physics]].[http://pre.aps.org/about About Physical Review E].

==Former names== This journal began as "''[[Physical Review]]''" in 1893. In 1913 the [[American Physical Society]] took over ''Physical Review''. In 1970 ''Physical Review'' was subdivided into ''Physical Review A'', ''B'', ''C'', and ''D''. From 1990 until 1993 a process was underway which split the journal then entitled ''[[Physical Review A: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics|Physical Review A: General Physics]]'' into two journals. Hence, from 1993 until 2000, one of the split off journals became '''''Physical Review E: Statistical Physics, Plasmas, Fluids, and Related Interdisciplinary Topics'''''. In 2001 the journal was changed, in name, to its present title. As an aside, in January 2007, the section which published works on [[optics|classical optics]] was transferred from ''Physical Review E'' to ''Physical Review A''. This action unified the classical and quantum parts of optics into a single journal.{{Cite web | last=Drake | first=Gordon W.

==Rapid Communications== '''''Physical Review E Rapid Communications''''' was announced on June 7, 2010. This section (or feature) gives priority to results which are deemed significant, and merits a prominent display on the ''Physical Review E'' website. The specific article is displayed for several weeks, and is part of a rotation with other articles, also deemed significant.{{Cite web | last =Physical Review E | title =Highlighting PRE Rapid Communications
