Chinese Journal of High Pressure Physics, founded in September 1987, is the only one dedicated high pressure physics journal in China. It is a bimonthly journal, sponsored by Topical Committee of High Pressure of Chinese Physical Society and conducted by Institute of Fluid Physics of Chinese Academy of Engineering Physics.

It is devoted to present the latest scientific and technological results in high pressure physics in order to promote academic exchange and to cultivate young scientific and technological talents contributing to the development of high pressure physics research. The readership includes scientific researchers, engineering technicians, postgraduates, teaching staff of colleges and universities, engaged in high-pressure physics and adjacent majors (such as explosive mechanics, geophysics, astrophysics, material science, etc.).

The journal covers the full range in high pressure physics, and related subfields, mainly including:

² mechanical, thermodynamical, optical, electrical and magnetic characteristics of materials under high pressure and high temperature

² micro-structure and phase transition of materials under high pressure and high temperature

² equation of state

² dynamic and static high pressure technologies

² synthesis of new materials

² geophysics and planetary physics

² dynamic responses of materials and constructions

² shock and detonation waves and related phenomena

² interdisciplinary science and technology applications of high pressure, chemistry and biology
