JJAP Focus Collections (formerly Special Issue)

Invited speakers

Invited speakers are encouraged to submit manuscripts to the Focus Collection of the Japanese Journal of Applied Physics (JJAP), published by IOP Publishing on behalf of the Japan Society of Applied Physics. JJAP accepts original full papers (regular papers) as well as review articles, with Progress Reviews being recommended. For Progress Reviews submitted to JJAP Focus Collections, both the publication charge and the Open Access fee are currently waived; however, this policy may be subject to change in the future. The latest publication charges are available on the website below, so please check them before submitting your manuscript.

Contributed presenters

Presenters of contributed oral or poster presentations are invited to submit original full papers to the JJAP Focus Collection. For papers based on abstracts submitted to ICRP-12/SPP-44 that received high evaluation scores, the ICRP-12/SPP-44 Committee plans to provide support for publication charges. Eligible authors will be contacted individually regarding publication charge support when they submit their manuscripts to the JJAP Focus Collection.

How to submit

In the "Article Information" tab of the submission process, choose "Plasma Processing 2026 (ICRP2026)" from the list in "Select Focus Collection", and enter the program number in "Conference program number".Submission deadline: January 29,2027.

Manuscript types for JJAP Focus Collections

Progress Reviews: concise and efficient overviews covering the latest progress in a specific research area of applied physics. They can include or be largely based on the recent results from the author(s). There is no length limit although the manuscript should be written as concisely as possible and the abstract should not exceed 150 words

Regular Papers: original papers with comprehensive, detailed descriptions of the research work, presenting a fully developed discussion on the results obtained in relevant fields of applied physics. They must provide sufficient and self-contained information to ensure the repeatability of experiments and analyses by readers.
There is no length limit for Regular Papers; however, the abstract should not exceed 150 words. Appropriate references should be listed; a typical Regular Paper should include 30 or more appropriate references.

Brief Notes: short reports on significant improvements in instrumentation, fabrication processes, measurement techniques, and theoretical analyses, and also serve as an archive of knowledge useful for applied physics, such as important material parameters. The research topic described must be of interest to researchers working in applied physics.
The maximum length of a Brief Note is 2,700 words and 3 single-column width figures. An abstract of no more than 100 words should be provided. Other than this, Brief Notes should not be divided into sections. Appropriate references should be listed; a typical Brief Note should include 20 or more appropriate references.
