What is an IOP Publishing Focus Collection?

A Focus Collection is a curated set of articles centred around a specific theme that could be associated by topic, field, geography, institution, conference or event. These collections are led by Guest Editors — leaders or up-and-coming researchers in their field — and designed to spotlight high-quality research and foster meaningful discussion within the scientific community. These collections can also span multiple IOP Publishing journals where they are relevant to the editorial theme. Our Focus Collections fully adhere to industry best practice guidelines, including those set by COPE and DOAJ, ensuring that the research published in them meets the highest standards of scientific and ethical integrity.
