Focus Collections
Focus collections are collections of papers that highlight the exciting research being conducted in specific subject areas of current high interest.
The collections are built incrementally, allowing accepted contributions to be added to the collection as soon as they are ready for publication and further additional articles appearing on an ongoing basis.
Please see the webpages below for details on our individual collections, both open for submissions and closed, and contact the journal if you have any queries. Collection topics are primarily identified by the Editorial board, however external proposals from the research community for new focus collections are welcomed - please contact the journal if you have an idea: pmb@ioppublishing.org.
