Progress of Theoretical Physics is a monthly scientific journal published in Japan. The first issue was in July 1946[1], eleven months after the surrender of Japan. It was founded by Hideki Yukawa who received Nobel Prize in Physics in 1949. Currently, publishing and managing is supported by the Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics[2] and Physical Society of Japan[3]. Approximately half the copies of each issue are distributed outside Japan[4], and papers from countries other than Japan are also acceptable. The Online Submission and Review System began on September 1, 2008.[5] [6]

History

The paper submitted within 6 months after the surrender of Japan, then released its first issue in July 1946, titled "Magnetic Moment and Virtual Dissociation of Nuclear Particle" by Gentaro Araki (荒木源太郎), "On the Generalized Transformation Functions" by Yasutaka Tanikawa (谷川安孝), "On the Electromagnetic Properties of Nucleons" by Minoru Kobayashi (小林稔) and Eizo Kanai (金井 英三) respectively. Sin-Itiro Tomonaga follows paper in July 1946 as well. In the first issues, most authors were from the Kyoto Imperial University (now Kyoto University). [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] Copies of all or the most the volumes and papers are available online[12] [13].

Influential papers

Several papers are among the most heavily-cited in history, and have been greatly influential in the development of physics during the last half of the 20th century and to date.

  • 1965 Nobel laureate Sin-Itiro Tomonaga's first paper on renormalization, "On a Relativistically Invariant Formulation of the Quantum Theory of Wave Fields" on Vol. 1 in 1946
  • 2008 Nobel laureates Makoto Kobayashi and Toshihide Maskawa, "Proposal of a Novel CP-Violation Mechanism Predicting Six Flavors of Quarks" CP-Violation in the Renormalizable Theory of Weak Interaction on Vol. 49 in 1973.[14][15]
Maskawa commented that having the academic journal of world class under the management of mainly Japanese people is very important to receive an objective evaluation on researches and studies from outside Japan, at the press conference right after Nobel Prize award announcement.[4]
