1. Book Chapter Published by Springer

Summary of the Book:

This book highlights space science and communication, which is one of the pillars of sustainable development from Earth to space science forms. Research and development in this part play a crucial role in sustainability development. The space issue is always on. Obtaining essential data in the physical world to interpret the universe and to predict what will happen in the future is challenging. Valid information to understand trends, evaluates needs, and creates sustainable development policies and programs in the best interest of all the people is indispensable.

This book is prepared in conjunction with the fifth meeting of the 2017 International Conference on Space Science and Communication (IconSpace2017) held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on 3-5 May 2017 to help graduate students, researchers, lecturers, engineers, geospatialist, meteorologist, climatologist, astronomers or practitioners to develop new knowledge in the applications of space science, telecommunications, meteorology, remote sensing and related fields. All kinds of space science and technology applications are the subject of discussion. Papers on space science-related topics, for example, the formation of global warming from space, religion in space and microorganisms tested in space, are also welcome.

JPCS is a peer-reviewed and open access publication from Institute of Physics (IOP) publishing with Online ISSN: 1742-6596 and Print ISSN: 1742-6588. Papers in JPCS are indexed in SCOPUS and ISI Web of Science (WoS). For more details the journal, please visit  http://iopscience.iop.org/journal/1742-6596.

Preparing your paper

IOP Conference Series uses author-supplied PDFs for all online and print publication. Authors are asked to prepare their papers using Microsoft Word, according to the journal guidelines and templates. Full instructions on preparing your paper, along with templates, can be found on the IOP Conference Series website.

  • When preparing your paper please strictly follow:
  • Paper size is European A4.
  • Length: 6-10 pages.
  • Margins are 4 cm (top), 2.5 cm (left and right) and 2.7 cm (bottom).
  • The paper includes the author name and affiliation (full address including country).
  • There are no page numbers, or headers and footers, within the paper.
  • Text is single spaced, not double spaced.
  • All pages are portrait (landscape pages should be rotated).
  • Reference lists are checked for accuracy. References can only be linked via CrossRef if they are correct and complete.
