  • basic plasma phenomena
  • plasma theory and modelling
  • magnetically confined plasma
  • inertially confined plasma
  • low temperature plasma
  • astrophysics and space plasma
  • plasma technology
  • fusion engineering

Article types

PST welcomes submissions of the following article types:

  • Papers: reports of high-quality original research with conclusions representing a significant advance in the field.
  • Letters: outstanding concise articles, reporting important, new and timely developments. These articles should be deserving of priority review, and you are required to upload a justification statement along with your submission.
  • Topical reviews: written by leading researchers in their fields, these articles present the background to and overview of a particular field, and the current state of the art.
  • Comments: comment or criticism on work previously published in the journal. These are usually published with an associated reply.
  • Research notes: research note includes brief articles which are usually more technical in nature and which make a useful and novel addition to the literature.
