The Journal of Space Weather and Space Climate (SWSC) plans a topical issue on "Brightness Variations of the Sun and Sun-like Stars and Resulting Influences on their Environments", to appear in 2016. This interdisciplinary issue will include contributions to the 2015 Sun-Climate Symposium and to the IAU General Assembly’s Focus Meeting 13 “Brightness Variations of the Sun and Sun-like Stars”. We welcome contributions that cover various aspects of solar and stellar magnetically driven variability, including among others:

• Observations of solar and stellar brightness variability
• Physical mechanisms and models of solar and stellar variability
• The solar-stellar connection. Is the Sun a solar-type variable?
• The impact of solar and stellar variability on their environment
• Sun-Climate Connection: mechanisms, climate change
• Future observing programmes and missions

Manuscripts must be submitted via the SWSC online submission tool.
Note that the publication fees, presently 500€+tax, will increase to 700€+tax for manuscripts submitted after 31^st December 2015.

All manuscripts will be peer reviewed according to the quality standards of international scientific journals. The type of contributions must fit the style of SWSC. All manuscripts should contain enough new insight, present the results against a properly referenced background of existing work, and present adequate evidence that supports the conclusions. Accepted papers are published in electronic format only, and are freely available to everyone via the SWSC web site. SWSC offers the possibility to include electronic material, such as animations, movies, codes and data.
