    • Radiation Measurements

      • ISSN: 1350-4487
      Radiation Measurements provides a forum for the presentation of the latest developments in the broad field of ionizing radiation detection and measurement. The journal publishes original papers on both fundamental and applied research.The journal seeks to publish papers that present advances in the following areas: spontaneous and stimulated luminescence (including scintillating materials, thermoluminescence, and optically stimulated luminescence); electron spin resonance of natural and synthetic materials; the physics, design and performance of radiation measurements (including computational modelling such as electronic transport simulations); the novel basic aspects of radiation measurement in medical physics. Studies of energy-transfer phenomena, track physics and microdosimetry are also of interest to the journal.Applications relevant to the journal, particularly where they present novel detection techniques, novel analytical approaches or novel materials, include: personal dosimetry (including dosimetric quantities, active/electronic and passive monitoring techniques for photon, neutron and charged-particle exposures); environmental dosimetry (including methodological advances and predictive models related to radon); cosmic and high-energy radiation measurements (including dosimetry, space radiation effects, and single event upsets); dosimetry-based archaeological and Quaternary dating; dosimetry-based approaches to thermochronometry; accident and retrospective dosimetry (including activation detectors), and dosimetry and measurements related to medical applications. Generally excluded are topics related to dosimetry and environmental radioactivity for risk assessment, particularly using standard and well-established techniques, where the emphasis is on the results of the measurements rather than on the measurement techniques.Review articles are periodically solicited by the Editors.The journal aims to publish papers containing substantial novelty and scientific impact. The Editors reserve the rights to reject, with or without external review, papers that do not meet these criteria. Please note that rejected papers will not be considered when resubmitted in any form, or to an alternative Editor.
    • New Astronomy

      • ISSN: 1384-1076
      New Astronomy aims to publish high quality articles in all areas of astronomy, from the solar system through cosmology, and in all wavelengths from radio to gamma-ray. New Astronomy actively encourages the submission of observational, experimental, theoretical, and numerical work, but it does not consider for publication physics papers for which there is no clear pathway for observational tests of the ideas proposed with current or reasonably conceivable future missions, observatories, and experiments. We encourage potential authors to write pre-submission inquiries to the Editor-in-Chief if they are unsure if their work is within the journal?s aims and scope.In addition to articles with original results, New Astronomy accepts regular reviews as well as focus reviews. These last are modest length (typically <20 pages) review articles that cover recent developments within a field, rather than providing comprehensive reviews of the entirety of the field.Proposals for special editions, for example as conference proceedings, sets of papers related to new missions, or on other topics are welcomed.
    • Chinese Astronomy and Astrophysics

      • ISSN: 0275-1062
      The vigorous growth of astronomical and astrophysical science in China led to an increase in papers on astrophysics which Acta Astronomica Sinica could no longer absorb. A selection of translations of papers from the Chinese Journal of Space Science and the review journal Progress in Astronomy are added to the translation of Acta Astronomica Sinica to form the journal Chinese Astronomy and Astrophysics.Chinese Astronomy and Astrophysics brings English translations of notable articles to astronomers and astrophysicists outside China.Benefits to authors We also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

    • Astroparticle Physics

      • ISSN: 0927-6505
      Astroparticle Physics publishes experimental and theoretical research papers in the interacting fields of Cosmic Ray Physics, Astronomy and Astrophysics, Cosmology and Particle Physics focusing on new developments in the following areas: • Cosmic-ray physics and astrophysics • Particle cosmology, cosmic abundances, Big Bang Nucleosynthesis • Related astrophysics: supernova, AGN• Dark matter (direct and indirect searches) • Gravitational waves • Gamma-ray astronomy • Neutrino astronomy, properties, and double-beta decay • Instrumentation and detector developments, and method development (e.g. calibration, analysis) related to the above-mentioned fields.Novelty and relevance Astroparticle Physics aims to only publish papers with significance to an international audience, containing substantial novelty and scientific impact. The Editors reserve the rights to reject, with or without external review, papers that do not meet these criteria. This could include papers that are very similar to previous publications, or that are out of scope, such as concentrated mostly on very theoretical developments with few direct immediate observational consequences, mathematical physics, modified gravity, etc, or lacking a direct connection to either astro- or particle physics.Astroparticl...

    • Advances in Space Research

      • ISSN: 0273-1177
      The Official Journal of the Committee on Space Research (COSPAR), an interdisciplinary scientific committee of the International Science Council (ISC).The COSPAR publication Advances in Space Research (ASR) is an open journal covering all areas of space research including: space studies of the Earth's surface, meteorology, climate, the Earth-Moon system, planets and small bodies of the solar system, upper atmospheres, ionospheres and magnetospheres of the Earth and planets including reference atmospheres, space plasmas in the solar system, astrophysics from space, materials sciences in space, fundamental physics in space, space debris, space weather, Earth observations of space phenomena, etc.NB: Please note that manuscripts related to life sciences as related to space are no more accepted for submission to Advances in Space Research. Such manuscripts should now be submitted to the new COSPAR Journal Life Sciences in Space Research (LSSR).All submissions are reviewed by two scientists in the field. COSPAR is an interdisciplinary scientific organization concerned with the progress of space research on an international scale. Operating under the rules of ICSU, COSPAR ignores political considerations and considers all questions solely from the scientific viewpoint.
    • Journal of High Energy Astrophysics

      • ISSN: 2214-4048
      The Journal of High Energy Astrophysics (JHEAP) is the first astrophysical journal that focuses on the study of the most energetic phenomena.JHEAP seeks scientifically sound papers, and particularly those crossing strict specialization fields, attracting wide interest. The journal welcomes manuscripts on theoretical models, simulations and observations of energetic astrophysical objects both in our Galaxy and beyond. Among those, black holes at all scales, neutron stars, pulsars and their nebula, magnetars, fast radio bursts, binaries, novae and supernovae, their remnants, active galaxies are just a few examples. The journal will consider research across the whole electromagnetic spectrum, as well as research using various messengers, such as gravitational waves or neutrinos. Effects of high-energy phenomena on cosmology and star-formation, results from dedicated surveys expanding the knowledge of extreme environments, and astrophysical implications of dark matter are also welcomed topics.The journal does not accept purely theoretical papers without applications to high-energy astronomical objects. In particular, papers on modified gravity, black hole physics, and unified theories without astrophysical applications are considered out of the scope of the journal.JHEAP has no page charges and has a delayed Open Access model, meaning that your article will automatically and without charge become Open Access after 12 months. The journal also accepts Letters, which disseminates timely and impactful results in the field. There is no length limit to the Letters. A speed-up refereeing process (typically in 2 weeks) is reinforced. The scientific editors will check its suitability to the Letters column and decide whether it is sent out for review as a Letter or a regular article. JHEAP also publishes Special Issues, invited reviews, and white papers. Interested authors can directly contact the Editor-in-Chief with well-justified proposals sent to the journal inbox [email protected]... only publishes professional, verifiable, and reproducible research and does not welcome articles just expressing personal opinions.
