The Journal of Nuclear Materials publishes high quality papers in materials research for nuclear applications, primarily fission reactors, fusion reactors, and similar environments including radiation areas of charged particle accelerators. Both original research and critical review papers covering experimental, theoretical, and computational aspects of either fundamental or applied nature are welcome.The breadth of the field is such that a wide range of processes and properties in the field of materials science and engineering is of interest to the readership, spanning atom-scale processes, microstructures, thermodynamics, mechanical properties, physical properties, and corrosion, for example.The following list describes topics within the scope of the Journal.Fission reactor materials, including fuels, cladding, core structures, pressure vessels, coolant interactions with materials, moderator and control components; fission product behavior.Materials aspects of the entire fuel cycle.Materials aspects of the actinides and their compounds.Performance of nuclear waste materials; immobilization of wastes.Fusion reactor materials, including first walls, blankets, insulators and magnets.Neutron and charged particle radiation effects in materials, including defects, transmutations, microstructures, phase changes and macroscopic properties.Interaction of plasmas, ion beams, electron beams and electromagnetic radiation with materials.Please note: a manuscript must focus on materials science and engineering related to nuclear applications. Thus, all topics within nuclear science and engineering or materials science and engineering do not necessarily fall within the scope. Topics outside the scope of the Journal will not be considered, and potential alternative journals are indicated in brackets in the list below. Typical examples of topics which are out of scope for the Journal include:(1) Topics in nuclear engineering and other areas not addressing materials, such as:Particle transport, cross-sections or isotope ratios (Radiation Physics and Chemistry; Annals of Nuclear Energy)Process engineering (Materials Science and Engineering A; Materials and Design)Thermal hydraulics (Nuclear engineering and design)Isotope separation processes (Nuclear Instrument and Methods B)Fusion reactor design and technology (Fusion Engineering & Design)Plasma physics (Physics Letters A)(2) Materials topics not addressing nuclear applications, such as general studies in:Physical properties including modeling and simulation (Materials Science and Engineering A, Materials Letters)Metallurgy (Journal of Alloys and Compounds; Materials Science and Engineering A)Corrosion (Corrosion Science)Welding and joining (Journal of Alloys and Compounds; Materials and Design)Ceramics (Journal of the European Ceramics Society; Ceramics international)

The Journal of Nuclear Medicine (JNM) -- the flagship publication of SNM -- has once again been ranked the top medical imaging journal worldwide, according to new data released in the 2009 Journal Citation Reports -- published by Thomson Reuters. This is the second consecutive year in which JNM has taken the top spot.JNM -- a peer-reviewed, monthly publication -- earned an impact factor of 6.424 -- higher than other prominent journals in this category, such as Radiology, Human Brain Mapping and NeuroImage, as well as all of the nuclear medicine journals.

Published by the technologist section of the Society of Nuclear Medicine, the Journal of Nuclear Medicine Technology focuses entirely on the technology crucial to nuclear medicine. In peer-reviewed articles, every quarter the journal offers recent technically centered articles on imaging and instrumentation, radiopharmacy, quality assurance, radiation safety, and more. JNMT also serves as an invaluable continuing education tool, with teaching editorials, reviews of programs and certification updates, and continuing education articles.

The Journal of Nuclear Science and Technology (JNST) publishes internationally peer-reviewed papers that contribute to the exchange of research, ideas and developments in the field of nuclear science and technology, to contribute peaceful and sustainable development of the World.First established by the Atomic Energy Society of Japan (AESJ) in 1964, JNST is published bimonthly in print and monthly online. JNST is continued to be organized by, and an official publication of AESJ .

Stimulated by the advent of modern computers the developments in the field of numerical mathematics have been numerous in the past decades. However, the developments in the East and West went in different directions. Since its inception in 1993, the (East-West) Journal of Numerical Mathematics has promoted the exchange of ideas and results in numerical mathematics between scientists in Eastern Europe and Western countries and familiarized the world scientific community with the activities of researchers in Russia and other Eastern European countries.Due to political changes in the last decade, the exchange of research results has become easier and as a result, research results from Eastern European countries no longer form the emphasis of this journal. The Journal of Numerical Mathematics continues to contain high-quality papers on various topics in numerical mathematics as well as papers with significant mathematical content in the field of computational fluid dynamics and other areas of computational science from the international research community. Additionally, the journal will publish selected and refereed papers from workshops and conferences.
