Outer Planets
CALL FOR PAPERS TO BE PUBLISHED IN A SPECIAL PSS ISSUE FROM 2011 PLANETARY SESSIONS ON OUTER PLANETS
Dear colleagues,
following the success of our previous 7 issues (the one to be published this year received 23 papers for consideration and is almost completed now), we plan to have a new special PSS issue, with the usual double-reviewer procedure.
If you have recently given (or plan to give) a presentation concerning outer planets and their systems at the 2011 Planetary sessions for EGU/PS, IAMAS/ICPAE (sponsoring this issue), AOGS/PS, EPSC-DPS, and/or AGU International Meetings, you may be interested to know that we are planning to put together a new special issue of Planetary and Space Science on the themes addressed in sessions with focus on: "Surfaces, atmospheres and magnetospheres of the outer planets and their satellites and ring systems, Part VIII".
All papers presented in these meetings (solicited, contributed, oral and posters) concerning results on the outer planets and their systems (satellites, rings…), as well as laboratory or modeling work for the analysis of such data, are welcome to an article in this issue of PSS.
AS A FIRST STEP WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK THOSE WHO HAVE ALREADY SENT US AN INDICATION OF INTEREST FOR THIS ISSUE. IF YOU HAVEN'T DONE SO ALREADY AND INTEND TO SUBMIT A PAPER, PLEASE SEND US SUCH AN INDICATION BEFOREHAND AND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SO WE CAN PLAN THE ISSUE'S CONTENTS.
The usual refereeing process is applied for publication in PSS. For this, we would like to ask you to please give us 3-4 names of potential reviewers when you submit your manuscript. The deadline for submission of the manuscripts for this issue is November 30, 2011).
