Today, the journal continues its tradition as a leading voice of the worldwide fusion community while offering the most up-to-date electronic services.

JOURNAL SCOPE

The scope of the journal comprises the production, heating and confinement of high temperature plasmas, as well as the physical properties of such plasmas and the experimental or theoretical methods of exploring or explaining them. Both magnetic and inertial confinement schemes are considered. NF also publishes work on fusion reactor physics, reactor concepts and closely related technology.

PAPER TYPES

Nuclear Fusion publishes letters, articles, special issue articles and reviews, as well as special topics, conferences summaries and book reviews. Letters are limited to four journal pages, should be particularly interesting and timely, and usually are expected to be followed by a more detailed article at a later time. Reviews cover a broad category of research, including results from various research groups. A category of article, the 'special topic', covers, for example, results from scientific working groups supporting programme planning, or a summary of a limited body of research.

READERS
