Reviews in Mathematical Physics fills the need for a review journal in the field, but also accepts original research papers of high quality. The review papers - introductory and survey papers - are of relevance not only to mathematical physicists, but also to mathematicians and theoretical physicists interested in interdisciplinary topics. Original research papers are not subject to page limitations provided they are of importance to this readership. It is desirable that such papers have an expository part understandable to a wider readership than experts. Papers with the character of a scientific letter are usually not suitable for RMP.

《數學物理評論》不僅滿足了該領域評論期刊的需要，還接受高質量的原創研究論文。復習論文-介紹和調查論文-不僅對數學物理學家，而且對對跨學科主題感興趣的數學家和理論物理學家具有相關性。原始研究論文不受頁面限制，只要他們是重要的讀者。這是可取的，這樣的論文有一個解釋性的部分，可以理解為更廣泛的讀者比專家。具有科學信函性質的論文通常不適合RMP。
