About the Journal
Communication in Physical Sciences is a peer-reviewed academic journal published by the Faculty of Physical Sciences, University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Enugu State, Nigeria. The journal was originally launched in 2010 under the title Journal of Physical Sciences. During its inaugural year, the journal published up to eight issues, followed by two issues in 2011. Subsequently, publication activities were temporarily suspended to address concerns raised by the Journal Management Board as well as feedback obtained from authors through structured questionnaires.
The journal’s original website was hosted at http://commphyssc.org/. In 2019, the journal migrated to a new platform available at https://journalcps.com/. In addition, archival information about the journal is hosted on the University of Nigeria, Nsukka website at https://www.unn.edu.ng/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Communication-in-Physical-Sciences-Journal-1.pdf.
