There exist several previous reports that included plasma astrophysics as a small part of a larger study. These reports should serve as our input sources:

• "The Sun to the Earth—and Beyond: A Decadal Research Strategy in Solar and Space Physics" by National Research Council (2003)
• "Connecting Quarks with the Cosmos: Eleven Science Questions for the New Century (Quarks to Cosmos)" by National Research Council (2003)
• "High Energy Density Physics: The X-Games of Contemporary Science (HEDP/X-Games)" by National Research Council (2003)
• "Plasma Science: Advancing Knowledge in the National Interest" by National Research Council (2007)
• "Advancing the Science of High Energy Density Laboratory Plasmas" by Panel on High Energy Density Laboratory Plasmas of Fusion Energy Science Advisory Committee, Department of Energy (2009).
