Instabilities and Turbulence in Magnetized Plasmas

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to submit contributions to a Special Issue of Plasma titled “Instabilities and Turbulence in Magnetized Plasmas”. Plasma instabilities are universally recognized to play a fundamental role in magnetized plasmas, contributing to the determination of different phenomena, ranging from anomalous transport in fusion devices to anomalous ion heating in the solar corona. Our aim is to collect contributions from researchers working on all aspects of the field, including laboratory, fusion, and astrophysical plasmas, in order to promote cross-fertilization, which could lead to better understanding of apparently separated issues and to underline common physics. We encourage contributions highlighting experimental results, as well as theoretical and numerical studies. Reviews of recent progress on specific issues are also welcome.

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. Plasma is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1400 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.
