Electromagnetic and Light
Scattering, ELS-XVII
Dear Colleagues,
You can now submit your paper
to the ELS-XVII Special Issue of JQSRT via the website https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/journal-of-quantitative-spectroscopy-and-radiative-transferby
clicking on Submit your article in the right-hand panel. You
will be prompted to create an Evise account
unless you already have one. The papers can be submitted at any time but no
later than 15 July 2018.
Only full-size papers rather
than extended abstracts will be considered. All submissions will be
peer-reviewed according to the standard JQSRT evaluation procedure. Each
accepted manuscript will be published promptly, without waiting for all the
other papers. As a consequence, ELS-XVII papers will likely appear in several
physical volumes of JQSRT, but will be grouped (in real time) in an online
virtual special issue at https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/journal-of-quantitative-spectroscopy-and-radiative-transfer/special-issues
This will greatly increase the
visibility of your contribution since Elsevier advertises special issues of
JQSRT quite widely.
When submitting a regular
manuscript, please select the Full-size paper category. All keynote and invited
ELS-XVII speakers are encouraged to submit comprehensive reviews along the
lines of their presentations, in which case the Review category should be
selected. Ideas of additional reviews should be first discussed with one of the
Guest Editors.
Finally, please note that we
encourage the submission of any papers on topics covered by ELS conferences,
i.e., not only those presented at ELS-XVII.
We look forward to your
high-quality submissions to the special ELS-XVII issue!

Laser-light and Interactions
with Particles (LIP2018)
After the success (150
participants) of the last join conferences LIP2018 & ELS-XVII organized by
Ping Yang, Patrick Stegmann and their
colleagues from Texas AM University, it is time to think about next steps.
First, a Topical Issue of the
Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy and Radiative Transfer (JQSRT) is
scheduled on LIP conference topics: beam shape description (i.e.
electromagnetic, acoustic and quantum beams), near fields and
morphology-dependent-resonances, far-field scattering, time-resolved
scattering, mechanical effects of light, complex shaped particles and
aggregates, multiple scattering in dense media, optical particle sizing and
characterization methods. It will be a topical issue of JQSRT and not a
conference proceedings volume. Thus, each submission will be thoroughly
reviewed by at least two independent referees to ensure that all accepted
manuscripts satisfy the highest standards of scientific quality adopted for
JQSRT.
To expedite the communication
of your research results to the scientific community, each paper will be
officially published as soon as it has been accepted, typeset, and proof-read.
In other words, the authors of accepted manuscripts will see their papers
officially published without having to wait for the rest of the manuscripts to
get accepted. This accelerated publication protocol is a recent improvement in
the JQSRT production process.

Special issue of PSS (Planetary and Space Science)
On behalf of all the guest
editors of the following Planetary and Space Science (PSS) special issue, let me
give you the following information.
An international symposium
"Int'l Symposium on Dust & Parent Bodies" (http://www.perc.it-chiba.ac.jp/meetings/IDP2018/Welcome.html )
was held at PERC, Chiba Institute of Technology, in 2018 February 26-28. In the
symposium, various studies related to the near-Earth asteroid (3200) Phaethon
were discussed: Phaethon as the parent body of the Geminidmeteor
stream, Phaethon's surface status observed in the closest approach in 2017,
dust from Phaethon that arrived at the Earth, dust in the planetary and
interstellar space, and so on.
Following the discussions in
the symposium, we plan to make a special issue on Planetary and Space Science
(PSS) entitled "Asteroid (3200) Phaethon and meteoroids".
We will call for research
papers from widely relevant fields. Any research subjects related to Phaethon
or meteoroids from any viewpoint (observation, experiment, theory, simulation,
exploration, and others) are welcome. Please refer to the submission procedure
as follows.
If you have any questions or
requests, please do not hesitate to contact us at idp2018-editors@perc.it-chiba.ac.jp
We are looking forward to
having everyone's participation.
