The Section Editor will take an early decision whether to initiate the evaluation process. The corresponding author will also indicate the article type and which journal section the article belongs to. Upon submitting an article, the corresponding author will provide a statement explaining in which way the article meets FPP publication standards in terms of broad interest, as well and with regards to the other four criteria indicated above. Reviews and Perspectives are articles submitted by members of the plasma physics community, that highlight open problems and aspects of relevance in published research and/or indicate potential developments in the field.Submitted Letters will receive expedited peer review and accelerated publication. It must contain pivotal results that are likely to have an important impact on plasma physics research at large. A Letter is a short communication (up to six pages in FPP style, not including title, affiliations, abstract, and references however, no stringent limit will be enforced a letter should not be divided in sections).A Regular article is a full-length article, divided in sections it may contain appendixes and supplemental material.Report on the discovery or invention of new plasma phenomena or new plasma applications.įPP will publish (i) Regular articles, (ii) Letters, and (iii) Reviews and Perspectives.


Submitted articles must be original, of broad interest within the plasma physics community, and meet one or more of the following criteria: The ambition of FPP is to bring together the various plasma physics communities by focusing on methodologies, theoretical and numerical methods, experimental research, and innovative diagnostics, that further understanding of the physics of plasmas. The great variety of plasmas that are in nature or produced in the laboratory make plasma science a truly multidisciplinary field. A contribution is considered fundamental if it advances knowledge on a topic at the frontier of plasma physics research and has broad interest within the plasma physics community. Fundamental articles can be theoretical, numerical, or experimental. Aims & Scope Fundamental Plasma Physics provides an open access forum for articles that address fundamental aspects of plasma physics research.
