Scope

Open Plasma Science (OPS) is a peer-reviewed journal launched in 2024 publishing articles in English. OPS reports on original theoretical, experimental, numerical and applied research concerning plasma science in the broadest sense. Topics of interest include, but are not limited, to

  • Plasma surface interaction, sheaths, sputtering and surface emission
  • Turbulence, instabilities and transport
  • Collisionless plasmas
  • Laser-plasma interaction, inertially confined plasma, relativistic plasma
  • Magnetically confined plasma
  • Plasma propulsion, plasma sources
  • Electrical discharges, dusty plasma, plasma diagnostics, plasma and processes
  • Plasma-liquid Interactions
  • High pre...
