Usage

• 26 286Downloads 2022
  Springer measures the usage on the SpringerLink platform according to the COUNTER (Counting Online Usage of NeTworked Electronic Resources) standards.
• 48 Usage Factor 2021/2022
  The Springer Journal Usage Factor 2021/2022 was calculated as suggested by the COUNTER Code of Practice for Usage Factors. It is the median value of the number of downloads in 2021/2022 for all articles published online in that particular journal during the same time period. The Usage Factor calculation is based on COUNTER-compliant usage data on the SpringerLink platform. (Counting Online Usage of NeTworked Electronic Resources) standards.

Impact

• 1.1 Impact Factor 2022
  Journal Impact Factors are published each summer by Thomson Reuters via Journal Citation Reports ®. Impact Factors and ranking data are presented for the preceding calendar year.
• 0.67Source Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP) 2022
  Source Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP) measures contextual citation impact by weighting citations based on the total number of citations in a subject field. The impact of a single citation is given higher value in subject areas where citations are less likely, and vice versa.
• Q2Quartile: Physics and Astronomy (miscellaneous) 2022
  The set of journals have been ranked according to their SJR and divided into four equal groups, four quartiles. Q1 (green) comprises the quarter of the journals with the highest values, Q2 (yellow) the second highest values, Q3 (orange) the third highest values and Q4 (red) the lowest values.
• 0.37 SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) 2022
  SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) is a measure of scientific influence of scholarly journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from.
• 53H-Index 2022
  A journal has an H index of h if it published h papers each of which has been cited in other journals at least h times. Calculations are based on Scopus.

Plasma Physics Reports  is a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the field of plasma physics. The journal covers a range of topics, including high-temperature plasma physics relevant to controlled nuclear fusion based on magnetic and inertial confinement methods, the physics of cosmic plasmas, such as magnetospheric, solar, and stellar plasmas. The scope extends to gas discharge plasmas and plasmas generated by laser and particle beams. The journal also features articles on related subjects like plasma electronics, radiation generation within plasma, and plasma diagnostics. Apart from original research articles, the journal presents comprehensive critical reviews on specific subjects. The journal publishes original manuscripts submitted in English, as well as works translated from several other journals. The sources of content are indicated at the article level. The peer review policy of the journal is independent of the manuscript source, ensuring a fair and unbiased evaluation process for all submissions. As part of its aim to become an international publication, the journal welcomes submissions in English from all countries.
