Physics (defunct journal, 1964-1968); published by Physics Publishing Company. This journal published several important papers, including John Stewart Bell's paper on the EPR paradox.[2] Its being defunct is mentioned in [3] and at and in the article.[4] The American Physical Society hosts an archive of it at https://journals.aps.org/ppf/ however it is pretty hard to learn of it because "physics" is not a very useful search term. Thus a Wikipedia disambiguation page would help scholars and students find the archive. Its also interesting because it was an experiment in paying physicists for their articles, and one of its editors was Nobel Laureate Philip Warren Anderson[5] There is an interview with Anderson describing the birth of the journal at [6]
