About the journal
PLASMA PHYSICS REPORTS (Fizika plazmy)
Plasma Physics Reports (Fizika plasmy) was founded in 1975 in order to publish papers on comparatively young and extremely fruitful branch of modern science—plasma physics. The journal covers the following topics: high-temperature plasma physics connected with the problem of controlled nuclear fusion based on magnetic and inertial confinement; physics of cosmic plasma, including magnetosphere plasma, sun and stellar plasma, etc.; gas discharge plasma and plasma generated by laser and particle beams. The journal also publishes papers on such related topics as plasma electronics, generation of radiation in plasma, and plasma diagnostics. As well as other original communications, the journal publishes topical reviews and conference proceedings.

Instructions to Authors
The paper must present the results of a completed, original study on any aspect of plasma physics. The results of the study should be relatively general in character. The paper should be understandable and easy to read for specialists in plasma physics and related branches of science. For this purpose, the authors are to clearly formulate the subject and goal of the investigation and the results obtained. The authors are also to give an assessment of the results obtained, define their position among the results obtained by other authors, and indicate the fields in which these results can be applied. The manuscript should be prepared as carefully as possible. In order to avoid typesetting mistakes and delays in publishing, the authors should follow our instructions and recommendations. Manuscripts not satisfying the following instructions may be rejected without registration. These instructions are based on the Technical Supplement to the Agreement between the NAUKA International Academic Publishing Company and the Editorial Board of Fizika Plazmy (Plasma Physics Reports) on the publication of the English translation of the journal.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARING MANUSCRIPTS
1. General Requirements
1.1. The manuscript should be clearly typed double-spaced on one side of white, A4 ( 290 × 210 mm) or Letter (8 1/2 × 11 in.) format paper using a standard type-writer (or printer with an appropriate font). The number of lines per page should be 29–30. The left margin should be no less than 25 mm. All pages must be consecutively numbered. Only corrections made in black ink are allowed. The manuscript must be submitted to the Editorial Board in duplicate. 1.2. For efficient communication with the Editorial Board, indicate your e-mail address. 1.3. To hasten the publication of the accepted paper, it is recommended to present an electronic version of the paper (see below). 1.4. The paper must begin with the title followed by the authors initials and surnames, affiliations, and addresses.
Example:
Possibility for Determining the Isotope Content in a Dense Plasma by Measuring the Flows of Charge-Exchange Atoms A. V. Khudoleev, V. I. Afanas’ev, and F. V. Chernyshev Ioffe Institute for Physics and Technology, Russian Academy of Sciences, Politekhnicheskaya ul. 26, St. Petersburg, 194021 Russia Further, a short abstract follows. 1.5. The manuscript must be carefully edited. 1.6. It is recommended to use SI units and the 12C scale for relative atomic masses. The use of outdated units is undesirable. In papers presenting results of numerical calculations, the authors of numerical codes should be cited. 1.7. All acronyms and abbreviations must be spelled out the first time they are used in the text, except for those generally accepted. There should be no acronyms, abbreviations, or references in the abstract.
2. Mathematical Expressions
2.1. All expressions and notations should be either printed or typed or hand-written legibly and large in black or India ink. 2.2. All formulas and symbols should be supplemented by standard identification marks written in pencil throughout the material (including figures and inscriptions in photographs) as follows. 2.2.1. When upper- and lower-case characters have similar outlines and differ only by their size, upper-case characters should be doubly underlined in black pencil, whereas lower case characters should be marked by two dashes above the character. 2.2.2. Power exponents and superscripts should be marked in black pencil with an inverted caret below, whereas subscripts should be marked with a caret above; complicated indices should be described in the margin. 2.2.3. Vectors should be underlined in blue pencil (do not mark them with an above arrow). 2.2.4. Greek letters should be underlined in red pencil and spelled out in the margin each time they first appear on the page; for example, (xi), (zeta), etc. 2.2.5. Special symbols (e.g., , ) should be identified by marginal notes with the remark “special symbol.” 2.2.6. To eliminate possible confusion between symbols with similar outlines, they should be identified by notes in the margin made in black pencil [e.g., e (not “el”), l(“el”), (“zero”), (“letter”)]. 2.2.7. Multiletter mathematical symbols (such as sin, lim, Re, log, max, exp), zeros, and designations of chemical elements should be marked in black pencil by a square bracket from below.
3. Tables
3.1. Numerical data should be presented in the form of tables. 3.2. Tables should be numbered by Arabic numerals in the order in which they are mentioned in the text. It is recommended that the number be followed by the table title. 3.3. All columns must have headings and must be separated by vertical lines. 3.4. The use of abbreviations in tables is not recommended.
4. Figures
4.1. Figures (between 5 × 6 cm and 18 × 24 cm in size and with their orientation on the page definitely indicated) must be submitted in duplicate. 4.2. Figures must not be inserted into the running text but should be placed separately in sequence after the collected captions at the end of the manuscript. 4.3. Figures should be informative and should ensure an understanding of all the details; formulas and symbols in inscriptions should be identified by the same marks as in the text. Identify each figure with the figure number and the first author’s name on the face side of the figure. 4.4. Photographs must be printed on glossy paper and submitted in duplicate (photocopies of photographs are not acceptable). Each photograph should be identified on the back by the surname of the first author and the number of the photograph written in soft black pencil. 4.5. Information presented in figures and photographs should correspond to captions and text descriptions. 4.6. It is important to avoid overloading figures with inscriptions. All of the text information concerning the figure should be presented in the figure caption. It is recommended to replace lettering in figures by numbers, which should be identified in the figure captions. 4.7. Use a black pencil to indicate in the margin the places within the text where illustrations and tables should be positioned.
5. References
5.1. References to other papers should be listed double-spaced under the title REFERENCES after the text at the end of the manuscript. 5.2. References should be numbered in the order of their citation throughout the manuscript. Within the text, references should appear as consecutive numbers in square brackets (e.g., [1]). 5.3. The reference should cite surnames and initials of all authors, except when there are more than four authors; in this case, cite the first three authors and use et al. in place of the names of the other authors. 5.4. References to laboratory reports (preprints) should not contain abbreviations or acronyms for the names of laboratories or agencies; spell them out. 5.5. Examples of reference formatting follow. 5.5.1. Books: A. S. Bakai and V. I. Maslov, in Nonlinear and Turbulent Processes in Physics, edited by R. Z. Sagdeev (Harwood, New York, 1984), p. 23. 5.5.2.
