Abstract: The Physical Review journals of the APS have a long tradition of publishing important physics papers, and serving as the bedrock of physics research.  In the past a few years, the APS has launched a couple of new journals to broaden this collection including my home journal: Physical Review X, a highly selective open access journal, and newly added Physical Review Research: a board topic open access journal with the selectivity comparable to PRA-E.

 In this talk, I will give a brief overview of our journal family and an editorial view on the peer review process, and offer some guidelines on how to communicate effectively with editors and referees during the review process. We will also discuss our current scope and standard of published papers. I will be available to answer questions, hear ideas, and discuss comments about the journals.
