SUBMISSION DEADLINE
A great opportunity
Investigating basic plasma phenomena relevant to space provides a
great opportunity to combine theory, modelling and the data acquired
by laboratory experiments with the data acquired by space science
experimentalists who use various instruments either flown on
spacecraft in different orbits or stationed on the ground.
The objective of this special issue is to present current progress in the
interdisciplinary field of space, lab and theoretical plasma research.
Emphasizing this vantage point, the issue will include practical
theories and models, and comparative interpretations of space-
mission results. All contributions that address the issue's theme are
welcome.

Special Issue Interrelationship between plasma
phenomena in the laboratory and in space
Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion will be publishing
a special issue on the interdisciplinary field of laboratory
and space plasma in 2008. We invite you to submit your work to this special issue.
"The intent of
this special
issue is to
promote the
alliance between plasma
physicists and space
science observers that
strives to interpretspacecraft data in a
broader context by sharing
knowledge, methods, and
results. I look forward to
receiving your
contribution."

Your invitation to submit
We invite you to submit your work in thefollowing areas:
• Laboratory-experiment papers that explicitly
address a specific space mission or
manifestation of a space-plasma
phenomenon
• Space-observation papers that explicitly
address a specific laboratory experiment or
laboratory result
• Theory or modelling papers that explicitly
address a connection between both
laboratory and space investigations
Given the interdisciplinary nature of the subject
we encourage you to include the standard
references for readers who seek further
background, examples and details, as well as
the more specific references for the particular topic discussed in your paper.
You are invited to submit your article by
26 October 2007. All articles will be refereed tothe journal’s usual high standards.
All articles will be freely available online for an
extended period and the issue will be widely
promoted to the plasma physics and space
physics communities, ensuring your work
receives maximum visibility.
We will be creating a web page dedicated to this
special issue which will contain updated
information on how and when to submit your
paper. If you would like to receive further
updates on the special issue please contact us
at [email protected] with the subject line ‘Subscribe
to information on IPPLS’.
