Reviews of Modern Plasma Physics now welcomes a new article type: ‘Special Topics’

We are pleased to announce that Reviews of Modern Plasma Physics is now accepting submissions for a new article type called ‘Special Topics’.  A Special Topics article is a brief review article that focuses on a specific topic. Its purpose is to highlight emerging research subjects, recent advances in a specific area and/or new research techniques. It can also focus on the authors’ own work or experimental instruments. As such, we especially encourage early career physicists to submit Special Topics articles. We believe this extended scope will add value to Reviews of Modern Plasma Physics.

Topical Collection: Recent Progress in Physics of Plasma-Based Space Propulsion (Closed)

Reviews of Modern Plasma Physics will publish a topical collection on Physics of Plasma-Based Space Propulsion. This Topical Collection will outline recent progress in understanding, characterization, optimization, and modelling of plasma behaviour in space propulsion systems of various types.

The guest editors are Prof. Igor Levchenko and Prof. Kateryna Bazaka.

Meet the Editors

The Chairman of the Journal will coordinate this journal's activities.  As this journal covers all field of plasma physics categorized into seven branches (fundamental, basic, applied, laser, space, solar/astro, magnetic fusion), one chief editor and associate editors are responsible for the publication of papers in each branch.

Review articles by S. Chandrasekhar Prize Laureates

The S. Chandrasekhar Laureates are sincerely invited to publish their review articles by the editorial board of Reviews of Modern Plasma Physics. They will describe their special works significantly contributed to the field as well as overviews the background and development of the research fields in the review articles.  The S. Chandrasekhar Prize recognizes scientists who have made seminal, pioneering contributions in the field of plasma physics, and has been awarded annually since 2014 by the Division of Plasma Physics under the Association of Asia Pacific Physics Societies.

Books by the editorial board members

The Editorial Board members of Reviews of Modern Plasma Physics have authored/edited a number of books published by Springer.

Springer launches new journal reviews of modern plasma physics.

Articles to cover fundamental and applied aspects of plasma physics

Heidelberg | New York, 30 November 2016

Reviews of Modern Plasma Physics aims to be a leading journal in its field. It will provide cutting-edge reviews and tutorials by renowned researchers in all fields of plasma physics including fundamental and applied physics relevant to natural and laboratory plasmas. The articles published in this new journal will not only be characterized by their excellent quality, but also their high readability, providing authoritative material for graduate students and young researchers who are less familiar with the fields covered.

Mitsuru Kikuchi, Chair of the AAPPS-DPP, said, “I am pleased to launch this official AAPPS-DPP journal, Reviews of Modern Plasma Physics , with Springer Nature, a leading global publisher. It will certainly benefit physics communities, including plasma physics researchers working in fields such as space, solar, and astro plasmas; laser plasmas; low temperature plasmas; and magnetic and inertial fusion applications.”

Akiyuki Tokuno, Publishing Editor at Springer, said, “It is a great pleasure to publish this new review journal in collaboration with the AAPPS-DPP as part of the Springer portfolio. With the support of the chairman and the editorial board, RMPP will provide reviews by leading plasma physics researchers and Chandrasekhar prize laureates. It will be highly beneficial to readers in the field of plasma sciences.”

Since its foundation in 1990, The Association of Asia Pacific Physical Societies ( www.aapps.org ) encompasses the physical societies and institutes in the region and consolidates the sense of a physics community in the Asia Pacific region. The association is an umbrella organization which is devoted to the joint promotion of research, teaching and regional collaboration in physics. RMPP will be the official journal of the Division of Plasma Physics ( http://aappsdpp.org/AAPPSDPPF/ ) under the AAPPS.

Springer is part of Springer Nature , a leading global research, educational and professional publisher, home to an array of respected and trusted brands providing quality content through a range of innovative products and services. Springer Nature is the world’s largest academic book publisher, publisher of the world’s most influential journals and a pioneer in the field of open research. The company numbers almost 13,000 staff in over 50 countries. Springer Nature was formed in 2015 through the merger of Nature Publishing Group, Palgrave Macmillan, Macmillan Education and Springer Science+Business Media.
