Description
Applied Radiation and Isotopes provides a high quality medium for the publication of substantial, original and scientific and
technological papers on the development and applications of nuclear, radiation and radionuclide techniques in chemistry, physics, biochemistry,
biology, medicine, engineering and in the earth, planetary and environmental sciences. Nuclear techniques are defined in the broadest
sense and both experimental and theoretical papers are welcome. They include the development and use of α- and β-particles, X-rays
and γ-rays, neutrons and other nuclear particles and radiations from all sources, including radionuclides, synchroton sources, cyclotrons
and reactors and from the natural environment. Nuclear magnetic resonance and electron spin resonance are important technologies within
the scope of Applied Radiation and Isotopes.
Papers dealing with radiation processing, or the biological , chemical or physical
effects of radiation are not appropriate for publication in Applied Radiation and Isotopes. Manuscripts dealing with radiation
processing, or the chemical or physical effects of radiation should be directed to our sister journal Radiaton Physics and Chemistry.
Manuscripts describing the results of measurements of radioactive or other substances in any medium that have been obtained using well-established
analytical methods will not be accepted unless they also describe substantial innovations or improvements in the analytical methodology.
Relevant topics for Applied Radiation and Isotopes include the following, however, authors are encouraged to suggest other topics
which might also be published in the journal:
• Radiation Sources: design, construction, production, characteristics.
• Radionuclides: production, activation cross-sections, target design, processing, quality control procedures.
• Synthesis of Labelled Compounds: synthesis, purification, quality control, in vitro testing of radionuclide-labelled
compounds/ radiopharmaceuticals.
• Measurement of Radiation and Radioactivity: measurement of X-rays, γ-rays, χ-
and β-particles and other forms of radiation; nuclear instrumentation, including radiation spectrometry, dosimetry, novel counting
systems and whole-body counters, novel radiation detector systems.
• Radioanalytical Methods: activation analysis, isotope
dilution analysis, radioimmunoassay, radionuclide tomography, radiation spectrometry.
• Nuclear Physics and Chemistry
topics including data compilations, directly relevant to practical applications.
• Nuclear Magnetic Resonanace/Electron Spin
Resonance: dosimetry, dating, imaging, biomedical applications and radiation accidents.
• Accelerator Mass Spectrometry:
methodology, biomedical, environmental and other applications.
• Nuclear Geophysics: studies of the earth's crust, the
hydrosphere, the atmosphere and planetary bodies; nuclear methods for exploration, extraction, transport and use of water, oil, gas,
coal and other minerals.
• Radiochemistry: chemical behaviour and speciation of radionuclides.
• Environment:
chemical behaviour and speciation of radionuclides and labelled compounds other than those of direct clinical interest, in geological,
environmental, human, animal or plant systems; factors which modify this behaviour.
Manuscripts, which will be subject to peer review,
should take one of the following form:
Original papers
, which should be definitiveand describe a reasonbly complete investigation.
Technical Notes
wich may describe new, unpublished information, including preliminary communications and work
in progress; or may take the form of
Letters to the Editors
containing comments related to articles previously published
in the journal. This type of communication should not exceed two printed pages in order to expedite their publication.
Review
articles
and conference proceedings may also be accepted for publication following discussion with an editor of the
journal.
