From 1987 to 1989, selected works from Acta Physica Sinica was translated and published as a quarterly under the name of Acta Physica Sinica - Journal of Chinese Physics.
Acta Physica Sinica is a part of a small group of journals from the Chinese Physical Society, the others including: Communications in Theoretical Physics (Chinese Physics A), Chinese Physics B (established in 1991 as Acta Physica Sinica (Overseas Edition), renamed as Chinese Physics in 2000, renamed again in 2008 as Chinese Physics B.
