The foci of the journal are Plasma, Atomic physics, Tokamak, Electron and Computational physics. While it focused on Plasma, it was also able to explore topics like Mechanics, Magnetic field and Optics. The journal deals with Mechanics in conjunction with Classical mechanics and similar fields in Quantum electrodynamics.
It focuses on Magnetic field but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Field (physics) and Condensed matter physics. Studies on Optics discussed in Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion link to the field of Plasma diagnostics. The Atomic physics works featured in Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion incorporate elements from Divertor, Ion, Electron temperature, Cyclotron and Laser.
Many of the studies tackled connect Divertor with a similar field of study like Nuclear engineering. While work presented in Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion provided substantial information on Tokamak, it also covered topics in Jet (fluid), Magnetohydrodynamics, Electric field and Current (fluid). Specifically, studies on Magnetohydrodynamic drive are prevalent in the Magnetohydrodynamics works discussed.
The most cited publications are organized to address concerns in the fields of Plasma, Atomic physics, Tokamak, Computational physics and Mechanics. The studies on Plasma discussed at the journal publications can also contribute to research in the domains of Electron and Magnetic field. The journal publications tackle studies in Plasma diagnostics and the interrelated subject of Optics to gain insights into Atomic physics.
The journal tackles a plethora of topics, such as Plasma, Atomic physics, Computational physics, Laser and Tokamak. Topics in Plasma were tackled in line with various other fields like Mode (statistics), Beam (structure), Electron, Magnetic field and Edge (geometry). It explores research in Atomic physics and the adjacent study of Ion.
The research on Computational physics tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Layer (electronics), Range (particle radiation) and DIII-D. The journal explores topics in Laser which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Proton, Acceleration and Pulse (physics). The presented Tokamak research focuses mostly on Mechanics and, on occasion, topics in Magnetohydrodynamics and Tearing.
A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.
The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.
The top authors publishing in Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.
The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.
During the most recent 2021 edition, 61.41% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 59.13% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 10.43% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 14.78% of all publications and 15.65% were from other institutions.
A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.
The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.
The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.
Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).
The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

(2020)Studying physics opens doors to a variety of exciting career paths, many of which can be pursued through flexible online programs. For those interested in affordability and convenience, exploring physics programs offers insight into the best value options for completing your degree remotely. These programs provide strong foundations in both theoretical and applied physics, preparing students for diverse job markets.
With the growing demand for remote work, physics graduates can also benefit from reviewing the online degrees for remote jobs that highlight fields supportive of flexible work environments. Combining physics expertise with technology skills can lead to careers that allow for telecommuting, enhancing work-life balance.
Beyond traditional physics roles, related fields like forensic science represent lucrative opportunities for graduates. Exploring high paying jobs in forensics reveals how a physics background can be instrumental in crime scene analysis, evidence testing, and other forensic applications.
Interestingly, physics degrees also complement leadership roles in sports organizations. For those considering administrative opportunities, learning about athletic director jobs can provide career inspiration in managing athletic programs and facilities, combining analytical skills with organizational management.
