Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Plasma physics experiments in space and fusion settings are often difficult and costly, but fundamental studies in smaller facilities or in simulations can shed light on these complicated processes. In this issue, we will highlight plasma physics studies (both experimental and numerical) that inform or explain phenomena in otherwise harsh or remote environments. These could include Laboratory Astrophysics studies focused on a particular fundamental plasma physics process, or small-scale fusion-relevant experiments illuminating new physics.
For this Special Issue of Plasma, researchers active in all aspects of the field Space and Fusion Physics are invited to submit their latest results. Papers covering fundamental studies, as well as papers discussing applications, are welcome.

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. Plasma 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.
