The goal of the Journal of Electrostatics is the dissemination of knowledge relating to static electricity. Papers in the journal encompass a broad range of topics covering theoretical and experimental aspects of basic physics, practical applications, and hazards. The Journal addresses the interests of physicists, chemists, biologists, electrical, and aeronautical engineers, as well as those working in biotechnology, nanotechnology, and meteorology.

The scope of the Journal includes:

 Fundamentals:
   · Materials (Surfaces and Interfaces, Charging, Adhesion)
   · Molecular Processes (Cellular Interactions, Biological Effects)
   · Electrical Conduction
   · Modeling (Field Computations, Numerical Techniques)
   · Electrical Discharges (Energy, Dynamics, Physics)

 Applications:
   · Reprographics (Imaging, Printing)
   · Coating (Painting, Powder Coating, Flocking, Electrospray)
   · Environment (Precipitation, Pollution Control, Health Effects)
   · Bio-Technology (Cell Manipulation, Cellular Interactions)
   · Micro-engineering (Micromachines, Nanodevices)
   · Space (Spacecraft Charging, Microgravity)

 Hazards and Problems
   · Electrostatic Discharge ( Damage, Ignitions, and Explosions)
   · Manufacturing (Web production, Adhesion, Discharges)

Types of contributions include reviews, full-length papers, and short communications. Whenever possible, short communications are published more rapidly than regular papers. All papers and short communications are refereed by a peer-review panel.
