Launched in 1960, Nuclear Fusion is an established leading journal in the field. It is consistently ranked as the top research journal in the category of Physics and Plasmas in the ISI’s science citation index. The 2007 impact factor is 3.278.
Nuclear Fusion covers work relevant to controlled thermonuclear fusion. This includes production, heating and confinement of high temperature plasmas, as well as the physical properties of plasmas and the experimental and theoretical methods of exploring and explaining them. The journal publishes work on fusion reactor physics, reactor concepts and closely related technology for both magnetic and inertial confinement schemes. Nuclear Fusion publishes letters, articles and reviews as well as book reviews and a calendar of meetings.
IOPP and IAEA partnership for Nuclear Fusion
From January 2002, the Institute of Physics Publishing (IOPP), based in Bristol, UK, assumed joint responsibility with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), based in Vienna, Austria, for publishing the journal Nuclear Fusion. All submissions and the peer review process will continue to be managed by the IAEA, whilst production, distribution, subscription fulfilment and marketing of the journal in print and electronic form will now be the responsibility of IOPP.
The current issue is on-line with free access to all, see http://www.iop.org/EJ/nf. New submissions to the journal should continue to be sent as usual to the NF editorial office in Vienna. http://authors.iop.org/atom/usermgmt.nsf/EGWebSubmissionWelcome?OpenForm&ISSN=0029-5515
