About the Journal

IPI Letters is the official publication of the Information Physics Institute (IPI) and a pioneering open-access journal at the forefront of information science and its intersections with physics, mathematics, data science, and beyond. We serve as a platform for both rigorous groundbreaking research and thought-provoking, bold ideas that transcend disciplinary boundaries, pushing the frontiers of knowledge in both established and emerging domains. Our scope spans a wide range of topics, including but not limited to:

  • Information Theory and Physics: Quantum information, information entropy, complexity, and the role of information in fundamental physics.
  • Mathematical and Computational Approaches: Algorithmic information, complexity theory, machine learning, and data-driven insights into information dynamics.
  • Experimental Information Science Research: Experiments in digital information processing, quantum communication, information storage, computational neuroscience, and data-driven physical systems.
  • Biological and Cognitive Information: Information in living systems, neural networks, cognitive science, and the emergence of intelligence.
  • Abstract and Philosophical Explorations: The nature of information, consciousness research, epistemology, and the interplay between computation, AI, meaning, and reality.
  • Interdisciplinary and Speculative Frontiers: Highly innovative and speculative studies at the intersection of information, mathematics, physics, and beyond, exploring fundamental questions about the structure of knowledge and reality.

At IPI Letters, we recognize the importance of advancing scientific thought and we provide a unique publishing model that includes both peer-reviewed and non-peer-reviewed articles.

  • Peer-Reviewed Articles: High-quality research contributions that meet rigorous scientific standards.
  • Non-Peer-Reviewed Contributions: To encourage the free exchange of transformative and thought-provoking ideas, we also publish Opinions, News & Views, and Communications, which offer a space for speculative, interdisciplinary and philosophical discussions, even when they are not fully supported by experimental or theoretical evidence.

We believe in the power of inclusivity in science, and we welcome contributions from researchers worldwide, regardless of their background, affiliation, or career stage. Join us on this exciting journey as we uncover the mysteries of information and shape the future of information science together.
