About the Virtual Journal of Applications of Superconductivity

Scope and Coverage

The Virtual Journal of Applications of Superconductivity (VJAS) is a semi-monthly virtual journal presenting articles that have appeared in one of the participating broad-based source journals not specializing in superconductivity. Those interested in following applications of superconductivity should regularly go to the tables of contents of specialized superconductivity journals, which contain most of the published papers on applications of superconductivity.

The articles selected for the VJAS fall within the scope of applications of superconductivity to electronics and large-scale systems, as well as materials and properties important to applications. The articles are primarily those that have been published in the previous 2-3 weeks; however, at the discretion of the Editor older articles may also appear, particularly review articles. Links to other useful Web resources on applications of superconductivity are also provided.

A description of the features of the Virtual Journals may be found in the Online Help page for this virtual journal.

Article Submissions to Source Journals

Original manuscript submissions to the Virtual Journal of Applications of Superconductivity are not accepted; however, your article may appear in this virtual journal if it falls within the scope of the virtual journal and is published in one of the participating source journals. If you wish to submit a manuscript to one of the source journals, please follow the link to the list of participating source journals, where you may link to the home pages of the source journals; information on manuscript preparation and submission may be found there.

How to Cite Articles Appearing in the Virtual Journal

When citing an article that has appeared in this virtual journal, the source journal article should be cited -- the virtual journal itself should not be cited. For a given virtual journal article, the appropriate full citation for the source journal article appears in the virtual journal table of contents entry and in the virtual journal abstract for that article. The article citation information is also found in the source journal resources to which the virtual journal points, including the full text of the article.
