JAAS News

JAAS will be publishing a conference-themed issue around the 2010 Asia-Pacific Winter Conference on Plasma Spectrochemistry.

(From the ED): Articles can be submitted by uploading your files through the submission website (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ja). Please indicate in your covering letter that your article is intended for the APWC 2010 issue.  Articles submitted for the themed issue will follow the usual peer review process and will be published as Advance Articles online as soon as they are ready. The conference issue will be published in spring 2011. Corresponding authors of all accepted manuscripts will receive a copy of the printed issue and a PDF file of their article so that they can produce reprints.
