'''PhysicsOverflow''' is a [[physics]] website that serves as a [[Scholarly peer review#Postpublication|post-publication peer review]] platform for [[academic paper|research papers]] in physics, as well as a [[collaborative blog]] and [[online community]] of physicists. It allows users to ask, answer and comment on graduate-level physics questions, post and review manuscripts from [[ArXiv]] (which lists PhysicsOverflow discussion pages among its trackbacks<ref>https://physicsoverflow.org/30425/we-have-arxiv-trackbacks?show=30425#q30425</ref>) and other sources, and vote on both forms of content.

==History==
PhysicsOverflow was started in April 2014 as a physics-equivalent of [[MathOverflow]] by Rahel Knöpfel, a physics PhD at the [[University of Rostock]], high-school student Abhimanyu Pallavi Sudhir, and Roger Cattin, a retired professor of computer science at the [[Fachhochschule|University of Applied Sciences, Switzerland]].<ref

PhysicsOverflow runs [[Q&A software#Comparison of Q&A software|Question2Answer]], an open-source Q&A software, with a custom theme and several plugins and patches.<ref>https://physicsoverflow.org/faq#a4809</ref> Some of its plugins have been used by other Question2Answer websites, such as the [https://openscience.uni-bielefeld.de Open Science Q&A] and the [http://physics.qandaexchange.com/ Physics Problems Q&A].<ref>https://openscience.uni-bielefeld.de/768/how-do-i-regain-access-to-my-imported-account</ref><ref>https://blog.wikimedia.de/author/christopher_schwarzkopf/</ref>
