A more open future for nuclear research
A growing number of institutional, national, and funder mandates are requiring researchers to make their published work immediately publicly accessible, through either open repositories or open access (OA) publications. In addition, both private and public funders are developing policies, such as those from the Office of Science and Technology Policy and the European Commission, that ask researchers to make publicly available at the time of publication as much of their underlying data and other materials as possible. These, combined with movement in the scientific community toward embracing open science principles (seen, for example, in the dramatic rise of preprint servers like arXiv), demonstrate a need for a different kind of publishing outlet.

Plasma density measurements are one of the important studies for achievement of nuclear fusion reaction. We have studied plasma electron density distributions and plasma frequency fluctuation by using microwave interferometers etc. in GAMMA 10. We show the first results of 2-dimensional plasma density distributions measurement under some conditions of the electron cyclotron resonance heating microwave power in GAMMA 10.
