The IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON PLASMA SCIENCE is published monthly. The scope covers all aspects of the theory and application of plasma science. It includes the following areas: magnetohydrodynamics; thermionics and plasma diodes; basic plasma phenomena; gaseous electronics; microwave/ plasma interaction; electron, ion, and plasma sources; space plasmas; intense electron and ion beams; laser-plasma interactions; plasma diagnostics; plasma chemistry and processing; solid-state plasmas; plasma

... plasma for controlled fusion research; high energy density plasmas; industrial/commercial applications of plasma physics; plasma waves and instabilities; and high power microwave and submillimeter wave generation. Manuscripts considered for publication should report original contributions to the theories, experimental results, or applications of the fields listed above; although papers of a tutorial or historical nature will be considered. Recent findings of a particularly noteworthy nature will be considered for the Technical Notes section; these will ordinarily be shorter length papers, thus facilitating the review process. The articles in this journal are peer reviewed in accordance with the requirements set forth in the IEEE PSPB Operations Manual (sections 8.2.1.C & 8.2.2.A) (https://pspb.ieee.org/images/files/files/opsmanual.pdf). Each published article was reviewed by a minimum of two independent reviewers using a single-blind peer review process, where the identities of the reviewers are not known to the authors, but the reviewers know the identities of the authors. Articles will be screened for plagiarism before acceptance. Corresponding authors from low-income countries are eligible for waived or reduced open access APCs (https://open.ieee.org/index.php/about-ieee-open-access/ faqs/#waivers).
