Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is dedicated to Professor Marcel Goossens on the occasion of his 75th birthday. Marcel Goossens’s work is internationally well-recognized and comprises more than four hundred research articles that have had a lasting influence on solar physics and astrophysics in general. He founded the Centre for Mathematical Plasma-Astrophysics at KU Leuven 30 years ago. He has inspired a large number of junior researchers. Over the decades, he has established many fruitful collaborations that have resulted in new and deep insights into various topics in plasma and solar physics.
The Special Issue aims at presenting original papers by Marcel Goossens’s collaborators that document the broadness of the scientific accomplishments that have resulted from studies that he directly or indirectly influenced as a collaborator or a teacher. This Special Issue may serve as an inspiration to others that follow in his footsteps.
Prof. Dr. Stefaan Poedts

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Physics is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
