Classical and Quantum Gravity (classical-and-quantum-gravity)
Journal positioning
Classical and Quantum Gravity is an IOP Publishing journal dedicated to all aspects of gravitational physics: classical general relativity, alternative and modified theories of gravity, mathematical relativity, cosmology, gravitational-wave science, numerical relativity, and approaches to quantum gravity. Its defining character is breadth within gravitation combined with technical rigor: CQG is a primary archival home for the gravitation community, publishing complete, well-documented studies from mathematical foundations to gravitational-wave data analysis. It is not a broad-impact venue in the PRL sense; soundness, completeness, and relevance to gravitational physics are the standard. Readership is the international gravitation, relativity, and cosmology community across physics and mathematical physics. This skill is a fit / venue-selection / re-framing tool. It does not replace the journal's current official submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live author instructions on the Classical and Quantum Gravity IOP site.
When to trigger
- The author names Classical and Quantum Gravity as the target venue for a complete study in gravitation, relativity, cosmology, or quantum gravity.
- A manuscript in gravitational-wave science, numerical relativity, or mathematical relativity is archival and rigorous but not framed for a broad-impact letters venue.
- A paper develops or tests a gravity theory or approach to quantum gravity and the author is choosing between CQG, Physical Review D, and a reviews venue.
- The author needs CQG's scope boundaries within gravitation, evidence expectations, and desk-reject criteria before submission.
