Information for Authors
The IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science is a publication of the IEEE Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society. It is published monthly, and covers the theory and application of plasma science and engineering.
The Transactions on Plasma Science (TPS) is viewed as a primary source of technical information in many of the areas it covers. It serves as a major vehicle for dissemination of technical information for the plasma science community, and for three Technical Committees of the IEEE Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society – the Plasma Science and Applications Committee, the Pulsed Power Science and Technology Committee, and the Fusion Technology Committee.
Manuscripts submitted to TPS for consideration for publication should meet the criteria as described elsewhere in this web site. Submissions should be made to the web site http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tps-ieee.
Journal Scope
The IEEE Transactions on Nuclear 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 heating; 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.
Considerations for the Suitability of Manuscripts for TPS
Manuscripts considered for publication should report original contributions to the theories, experimental results, or applications of the fields listed under the Journal Scope above; although papers of a tutorial or historical nature will be considered. Recent findings of a noteworthy nature will be considered for the Correspondence section; these will ordinarily be shorter length papers, thus facilitating the review process. IEEE’s policy on duplicate publication states “authors should only submit original work that has neither appeared elsewhere for publication, nor which is under review for another refereed publication. If authors have used their own previously published work(s) as a basis for a new submission, they are required to cite the previous work(s) and very briefly indicate how the new submission offers substantively novel contributions beyond those of the previously published work(s).”
Required Manuscript Content
The work should report new results, new applications, or new developments of interest. The manuscript must provide introductory material and context for the work. It must be clear what is new in the work and how it relates to other work in the field, and related work must be referenced appropriately. Models should be verified by data or some other means. There must be an analysis of data that provides conclusions that are general beyond the specific devices or system studied. The information provided must be sufficient for others to make use of the approach, results, etc. so that the impact is not limited to the particular system or application used in the manuscript. The paper should be sufficiently complete that others with comparable equipment could repeat the work. Overall the work needs to be of an archival nature (e.g., not only test results on a part that will be obsolete in a couple of years, or analysis of a particular design without illustration of generally applicable principles, or a description of the characteristics of a particular test facility, or an account of the existence and characteristics of a specific commercial product etc.).
Items for Authors to Address Before Submission
Reviewers of TPS manuscripts are requested to evaluate, at a minimum, the items listed below. Authors should be sure that their manuscript suitably addresses all these items before submitting their work to TPS. 1. Background and Context
Is the introductory and background material sufficient for someone not an expert in this area to understand the context and significance of this work?
Has related work been appropriately and adequately referenced?
Is it clear what is new in this work?
Is the relationship between this work and other work in the field adequately described?
Is it described how this work advances the state-of-the art?
2. Technical Quality
Is the work relevant and accurate, free from errors, misconceptions, ambiguities?
Are interpretations/models supported by data?
Is the data analysis complete?
Does the work contain new results, new applications, or new developments of interest?
Is the work of general applicability, i.e., not limited to the particular system or application used in the manuscript?
Are the conclusions significant and well-supported?
3. Clarity and Completeness
Is the work logically developed?
Is the presentation of data and/or modeling clear and easy to follow?
Is the discussion clear and unambiguous?
Is sufficient information provided for an expert reader to understand fully what was done, to repeat the experiment, or to duplicate the results presented?
Is enough detail presented to support the conclusions drawn?
Is the manuscript “complete”, i.e., not requiring extensive reference to other work to permit understanding?
4. Presentation
Are the English grammar and usage satisfactory?
Is the manuscript loosely written or repetitious?
Does the manuscript restate established scientific or engineering principles instead of merely providing the appropriate reference to such principles?
5. Figures and Tables
Are the figures and tables clearly labeled, legible, and with appropriate captions?
Are the figures and tables relevant, and referred to in the text?
Do the tables and figures show reduced rather than raw data?
Is the number of figures and tables appropriate?
6. Symbols, Acronyms, and Abbreviations
Are all nonstandard abbreviations and acronyms identified at first use?
Does the manuscript use proper and consistent symbols and abbreviations?
7. Length
Is the length of the manuscript appropriate for the amount and type of material presented? (Eight (8) pages is the maximum length of a “standard” manuscript. If the manuscript is longer than this, is that additional length necessary to develop and explain the material? If it is not, please suggest areas where material could be eliminated.)
8. Appropriateness
Is the work of an archival nature (e.g., not just test results on a part that will be obsolete in a couple of years, or analysis of a particular design without illustration of generally applicable principles, or description of the characteristics of a particular test facility, or an account of the existence and characteristics of a specific commercial product, etc.)?
Is the work a good “fit” for the Transactions on Plasma Science, and of interest to its readership?
Is this work overall appropriate for publication in the Transactions on Plasma Science?
Should this work be placed in the Correspondence section rather than as a full paper? Correspondences typically fall into two primary categories. One category is for comments on a previously published paper. The other category is for short papers that describe new ideas or results that are particularly newsworthy or of interest to the community, but with insufficient content to warrant a full paper. The length is typically expected to be less than 2 (or perhaps in special cases 3) journal pages.
Manuscript Preparation
Detailed information for the preparation of manuscripts for TPS is provided at https://journals.ieeeauthorcenter.ieee.org/create-your-ieee-journal-article/. Note particularly that the abstract must be a concise yet comprehensive reflection of what is in your article. In particular:
The abstract must be self-contained, without abbreviations, footnotes, or references. It should be a microcosm of the full article.
The abstract must be between 150-250 words. Be sure that you adhere to these limits; otherwise, you will need to edit your abstract accordingly.
The abstract must be written as one paragraph, and should not contain displayed mathematical equations or tabular material.
The abstract should include three or four different keywords or phrases, as this will help readers to find it. It is important to avoid over-repetition of such phrases as this can result in a page being rejected by search engines.
Ensure that your abstract reads well and is grammatically correct.
IEEE supports the publication of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) author names in the native language alongside the English versions of the names in the author list of an article. For more information, please visit the IEEE Author Digital Tool Box at the following URL: https://ieeeauthorcenter.ieee.org/create-your-ieee-article/create-the-text-of-your-article/publishing-author-names-in-native-languages/ Manuscripts submitted for review should be in 2-column journal format, according to the standard IEEE template for all Transactions, also available at https://ieeeauthorcenter.ieee.org/create-your-ieee-article/use-authoring-tools-and-ieee-article-templates/ieee-article-templates/templates-for-transactions/
Submission Procedure
All manuscripts must be submitted to the TPS online peer review system at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tps-ieee. Instructions on the use of this web site are available at that URL. During the submission process, authors will be asked what type of manuscript they are submitting, i.e., what technical area the manuscript is associated with. These areas are:
Basic Processes in Fully and Partially Ionized Plasmas
Microwave Generation and Microwave-Plasma Interaction
Charged Particle Beams and Sources
High Energy Density Plasmas and Their Interactions
Industrial, Commercial, and Medical Applications of Plasmas
Plasma Diagnostics
Pulsed Power Science and Technology
Arcs and MHD
Space Plasmas
Dusty Plasmas
Fusion Science and Technology
Electromagnetic Launch Science and Technology
Other Areas of Plasma Science
If the submitting author is unsure which manuscript type best describes the manuscript, he/she should choose the “Other Areas of Plasma Science” manuscript type. The Editor-in-Chief will then assess the suitability of the manuscript for TPS and assign it to the most appropriate category. TPS also regularly publishes special issues based upon manuscripts presented at a particular conference (e.g., International Conference on Plasma Science, Pulsed Power Conference, Symposium of Fusion Engineering, etc.) or in a particular subject area. A temporary Manuscript Type category is created for a limited time for authors from those conferences or in those subject areas to submit their work to the corresponding special issue.
