Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Spectral Line Shapes in Plasma (SLSP) code comparison workshop series [1] has provided a forum for the fruitful introduction, refinement, and testing of ideas and computational methods, applied to suitably chosen test cases for line shape computations in plasmas, which, among other things, is very important for diagnostics of laboratory and astrophysical plasmas. Five meetings have been held thus far—in 2012, 2013, 2015, 2017, and 2019.
Selected topics from the first two workshops were published in an Atoms Special Issue [2], with a second Special Issue [3] covering topics from the 3rd and 4th SLSP. The present Special Issue mostly covers topics either directly from the 5th SLSP or topics that emerged from the many fruitful discussions during the meeting, such as large magnetic fields and isolated lines. As usual, the present Special Issue is meant to address a number of current research topics, and to publish contributions from the wider community working on diverse aspects of calculations of spectral line shapes in plasma.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Atoms is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1500 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
