Journal of Radiological Protection publishes articles (in English) on all aspects of radiological protection, including non-ionising as well as ionising radiations. Fields of interest range from research, development and theory to operational matters, education and training. The very wide spectrum of its topics includes: dosimetry, instrument development, specialized measuring techniques, epidemiology, biological effects (in vivo and in vitro) and risk and environmental impact assessments.
On receipt, submitted articles will be acknowledged and a reference number assigned which will appear in all future correspondence. Articles other than Opinion articles and Letters to the Editor will be sent to two independent experts in the subject, who as referees, advise the Editor on the acceptability of the article. Authors may be asked to revise their papers in the light of the referees’ comments. When submitting a revised version of the manuscript, clearly marked as such, a covering letter should be included detailing the response to each of the referee’s comments on a point-by-point basis. Reasons must be given for not adopting any points made by the referees. It is the responsibility of the corresponding author to obtain the agreement of co-authors for any amendment made to the original manuscript.
If referees give conflicting advice, a third senior referee may be asked to act as an adjudicator. If the referees recommend rejection, the author may appeal to the Editorial Board for further consideration.
If a manuscript under revision is not received within six months, the article will be taken to have been withdrawn, unless the authors have previously written to explain any longer delay.
Letters to the Editor and Opinion articles are published at the Editor’s discretion, although the Editor may seek the advice of an independent expert.
Journal of Radiological Protection is the official journal of the Society for Radiological Protection.
