The Journal of Applied Physics is a peer-reviewed scientific journal with a focus on the physics of modern technology. The journal was originally established in 1931 under the name of Physics, and was published by the American Physical Society for its first 7 volumes. In January 1937, ownership was transferred to the American Institute of Physics "in line with the efforts of the American Physical Society to enhance the standing of physics as a profession".{{cite journal |doi=10.1063/1.1710231|title=Let us go forward . . . |journal=Journal of Applied Physics|volume=8|issue=1|pages=1|year=1937|bibcode= 1937JAP.....8....1.}} The journal's current editor-in-chief is André Anders (Leibniz Institute of Surface Engineering).
