【期刊】【物理学A:统计力学及其应用】【Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications】

Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications publishes research in the field of statistical mechanics and its applications. Statistical mechanics sets out to explain the behaviour of macroscopic systems, or the large scale, by studying the statistical properties of the microscopic or nanoscopic constituents. Applications of the concepts and techniques of statistical mechanics include: applications to physical and physiochemical systems such as solids, liquids and gases, interfaces, glasses, colloids, complex fluids, polymers, complex networks, applications to economic and social systems (e.g. socio-economic networks, financial time series, agent based models, systemic risk, market dynamics, computational social science, science of science, evolutionary game theory, cultural and political complexity), and traffic and transportation (e.g. vehicular traffic, pedestrian and evacuation dynamics, network traffic, swarms and other forms of collective transport in biology, models of intracellular transport, self-driven particles), as well as biological systems (biological signalling and noise, biological fluctuations, cellular systems and biophysics); and other interdisciplinary applications such as artificial intelligence (e.g. deep learning, genetic algorithms or links between theory of information and thermodynamics/statistical physics.).
Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 发表统计力学及其应用领域的研究成果。统计力学通过研究微观或纳米成分的统计特性来解释宏观系统或大尺度的行为。统计力学概念和技术的应用包括：物理和物理化学系统的应用，如固体、液体和气体、界面、玻璃、胶体、复杂流体、聚合物、复杂网络，经济和社会系统的应用（例如社会经济网络、金融时间序列、基于智能体的模型、系统风险、市场动力学、计算社会科学、科学科学、进化博弈论、文化和政治复杂性）和交通运输（例如车辆交通、行人和疏散动态、网络交通、生物学中的群体和其他形式的集体运输、细胞内运输模型、自驱动粒子）以及生物系统（生物信号和噪声、生物波动、细胞系统和生物物理学）;以及其他跨学科应用，如人工智能（例如深度学习、遗传算法或信息理论与热力学/统计物理学之间的联系）。

Physica A does not publish research on mathematics (e.g. statistics) or mathematical methods (e.g. solving differential equations) unless an original application to a statistical physics problem is included. Also research on fluid mechanics intended for an engineering readership as well as ordinary economic/econometrical studies falls outside the scope of Physica A .
Physica A 不发表有关数学（例如统计学）或数学方法（例如求解微分方程）的研究，除非包括对统计物理问题的原始应用。此外，面向工程读者的流体力学研究以及普通的经济/计量经济学研究不属于 Physica A 的范围。
