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.

Radial profiles of plasma parameters (such as electron temperature, plasma density and floating potential) are measured in the central cell of the Hanbit mirror device. The different shaped profiles are obtained by varying the applied magnetic field in the experiment. Thus, the relation between values of plasma beta and the slope of the profile is qualitatively investigated by using measured data obtained at different magnetic fields. In addition, the characteristics of the magnetic fluctuations (less than few ten kHz) in the experiment are investigated. The experimental investigations from the measurements at different applied magnetic fields are presented.
