Visualization of experimental and computed data is an increasingly important aspect of plasma science. Compelling images convey vast amounts of information in a single or sequence of images. These images are often works of art in their own right. The IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science (TPS) will have the 6th Triennial Special Issue of "IMAGES IN PLASMA SCIENCE" to be published August 2011. This issue will present unique experimentally or computationally generated images of plasma phenomena which provide insight to the physics of the process and which are aesthetically pleasing. Examples of images include, but are not restricted to:
The published articles will be limited to 2 journal pages. A recommended format has the header (title, authors, affiliation, abstract), full page image(s) and figure caption(s) on the first page, with text and references on the second page. The text should describe the physics portrayed by the image and how the image was generated (i.e., description of the model or experiment). Carefully layout your paper to insure that the images and text fit are well displayed in the 2-page limit. To aid with your planning Microsoft Word templates can be downloaded below. In additional to the standard manuscript format required for submissions to TPS, a 2-page formatted version of your article will also be required. Contributors are encouraged to examine past Special Issues of Images on Plasma Science (February 1996, 1999; 2002; April 2005; August 2008) as guides for format and style. We encourage submissions in color although there will be an additional page charge.
