1 Introduction
Reviews of Modern Plasma Physics (RMPP) are the review journal specialized inplasma physics and official journal of AAPPS-DPP. Our journal has six article types,
i.e. “Review” broadly reviewing related works all over the world, “Special Topics”
focused on one’s/group’s own works, “Tutorial” for beginner-friendly paper, “History” for scientific history, “Chandrasekhar Lecture” and “Plasma Innovation Lecture” for lecture on Laureate’s contribution. Details can be found at https://www.
springer.com/journal/41614/submission-guidelines.
RMPP editorial board consists (1) “Fundamental” plasma physics (Chief Editor: Taik Soo Hahm, Associate Editors: Patrick H. Diamond, Yasushi Ono), “Basic”
plasma physics (Associate Editors: Tomohiko Watanabe, A.A. Mamun), “Applied”
plasma physics (Chief Editor: Yi-Kang Pu, Associate Editors: Felipe Iza, Rajdeep
S. Rawat), “Laser” plasma physics (Chief Editor: Kunioki Mima, Associate Editors:
Amita Das, Zheng Ming Sheng, Hiroo Totsuji), “Space/Geomagnetic” plasma physics (Chief Editor: Yu Lin, Associate Editors: Tohru Hada, Dong-Hun Lee), “Solarand Astro” plasma physics (Chief Editor: Ryoji Matsumoto, Associate Editors:* Mitsuru Kikuchi

2022 (Wang 2022; Takeda et al. 2022; Wang et al. 2022; Zhou et al. 2022; Amanoet al. 2022).
There are number of invited papers from AAPPS-DPP2020 talks, (Shen et al.
2022; Rodriguez-Fernandez et al. 2022; Bhattacharjee et al. 2022; Shin et al. 2022;
Czarnetzki and Alves 2022; Lee 2022) and from AAPPS-DPP2021 talk (Liu et al.
2022).
An invite paper (Ida 2022) is for comparison with Rodriguez-Fernandez et al.
(2022). Three more papers are published in the field of Applied (Zafar and Jacob
2022), Magnetic Fusion (Bilal et al. 2022), and Space (Das et al. 2022).
Acknowledgements I would like to express deep appreciation to all authors, referees, chief, associate andguest editors and RMPP staffs of Springer-Nature (Dr. Daisuke Nakajima, Ms Asami Komada, Ms Durga
Devi Palani, Ms. Swathi Venkatesan).
