Living Reviews in Relativity
http://www.livingreviews.org/

"Living Reviews in Relativity is a solely WWW-based, peer reviewed journal for physics. The journal publishes invited reviews of research in all areas of relativity. The journal is offered as a free service to the scientific community. Articles are solicited from specialists in their fields and are directed toward physicists at the graduate student level and beyond. Articles appearing in Living Reviews provide peer-refereed, carefully edited, current and insightful overviews of what is happening in the fields they cover. Articles also provide annotated insights (and where possible, active links) into the key literature and online resources pertaining to these fields. One of the most important features of Living Reviews is that its articles are kept up to date by their authors. This is the significance of the word 'Living' in the journal's title. All references cited in the journal are keyworded and are stored in a searchable database."

Readers are not just the makers of photonics products, but end users as well."

Physical Review Special Topics - Accelerators and Beams
http://publish.aps.org/PRSTAB/

"The introduction of Physical Review Special Topics - Accelerators and Beams is the result of extensive study by the American Physical Society and its Division of the Physics of Beams, who have recognized the need for a wide ranging and widely distributed peer reviewed journal for their field. While some papers on particle accelerators appear in Physical Review Letters and Physical Review E, results on work in this field of a more technical character usually are not appropriate for those journals, and, as a result, the accelerator literature was fragmented among many journals. Hence PRST - AB."
