Title: *An Editorial View of Peer Review in PRX and all the Physical 
Review Journals

*
Abstract:
For more than one hundred years, the Physical Review (PR) journals have 
published cutting-edge research in physics from scientists all around 
the world. More recently, Physical Review X (PRX) was launched to become 
a high-profile venue to publish a small number of *landmark* high-impact 
papers from all areas of physics.
One of the distinguishing features of PRX and the entire PR family is 
its rigorous peer review process, which the editors strive to make as 
fair, thorough and timely as possible. In this talk, after introducing 
PRX and its editorial philosophy, I will explain how the review process 
in the PR journals is structured, what its purposes are, and how it is 
meant to benefit the scientific community overall. I will then provide 
some concrete tips and advice on how to write a good paper and prepare a 
submission for one of our journals, as well as on how to write a 
convincing response to the referees. Finally, I will describe what being 
a referee entails, and give some suggestions on how to write a 
high-quality referee report.
