About the Journal of Radiation and Nuclear Medicine
The Journal of Radiation and Nuclear Medicine (JRNM) is an open-access journal of research on nuclear imaging, radionuclide therapy, radiation oncology physics, dosimetry, radiation protection and radiobiology. It was first published in 2017 by Open Access Pub.
Purpose and readership
Radiation and nuclear medicine in service of patient care
JRNM serves clinicians, medical physicists, radiochemists and radiation-protection professionals who use ionizing radiation and radionuclides in medicine, and the researchers who develop those methods.
JRNM publishes research on nuclear imaging, radionuclide therapy, radiation oncology physics, dosimetry, radiation protection and radiobiology. It considers work from clinical, technical and laboratory settings in every region of the world.
Its aims are to publish methodologically sound research that advances the safe and effective use of radiation and radionuclides in medicine, to report the methods and measurements on which imaging, therapy and radiation protection depend, and to make the results freely available to everyone who can use them.
The journal welcomes contributions from nuclear medicine, radiation oncology, medical physics, radiochemistry and radiopharmacy, radiobiology and related disciplines. The Aims and Scope page describes the scope and article types in full.

Editorial Board
Editors with their profiles
Affiliations, research interests and ORCID iDs are listed for each member.
Editorial responsibility
The journal's editorial direction and decisions rest with the Editorial Board, whose members handle manuscripts within their expertise and advise on the journal's scope and policies.
Editorial decisions are based on scope, scientific quality, methodological rigor, ethical compliance, reporting quality, and relevance to the journal. They are independent of the article processing charge and of any fee-relief request. Editors with a conflict of interest are recused from handling the manuscript.
Peer review
All submissions undergo initial editorial screening. Manuscripts that meet the journal's scope and minimum requirements proceed to independent peer review. Single-blind by default; double-blind review is available on request. Manuscripts that proceed to external peer review are normally evaluated by at least two independent subject-matter experts. The full process is set out in the Editorial Policies.
