1. Scope and Instructions for Authors Progress in Disaster Science is a Gold Open Access journal focusing on integrating research and policy in disaster research, and publishes original research papers and invited viewpoint articles on disaster risk reduction; response; emergency management and recovery. A key part of the Journal's Publication output will see key experts invited to assess and comment on the current trends in disaster research, as well as highlight key papers. In addition, the Journal will welcome original research into new innovations and approaches, with the following emphasis: Holistic perspectives on disaster research:The journal will focus on all aspects of disaster research; from pre-disaster preparedness to post disaster relief, recovery and rehabilitation; Implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (SFDRR): The journal particularly welcomes papers and articles that share overviews, case studies, and challenges regarding the implementation of the SFDRR priority areas (see below). This includes Publications that monitor and evaluate the SFDRR's ideas, tools and implementation approaches; Multi-stakeholder and implementation-oriented research:The journal will publish papers focusing on different challenges and issues related to the implementation of disaster studies. Emphasis will be given to research results that are co-designed with different groups of stakeholders; Demand-driven innovation and innovation-creating demand:There needs to be a balanced approach taken between "demand-driven" innovation, and "innovation-creating" demand in society. The Journal will highlight partnership-based research Creating a future generation of researchers: The Journal encourages papers from young scientists and/or practitioners. This aims to facilitate multi-disciplinary higher education in disaster studies; The key criterion is that all papers submitted should report substantial progress in the field. Prospective authors are encouraged to consider the degree to which their contributions report significant progress in the field. 2. Types of papers We publish high-quality papers in several different sections: A: Original Research With a focus on highlighting progress in the field of Disaster Science, the journal welcomes original research articles, review papers and short communications on different aspects of disaster risk reduction; response; emergency management and recovery in the following subject areas: Disaster response:Crisis/emergency response, disaster relief, search and rescue, response coordination, response preparedness, response plan, relief/response assistance, relief/response activities/ efforts, evacuation center, relief and NGO coordination, relief and cluster approach, shelter management, disaster health response, water sanitation in evacuation center; Disaster recovery:Recovery plan, disaster rehabilitation, disaster reconstruction, build back better, recovery planning, relocation, SPHERE standard, post disaster temporary housing, disaster recovery and livelihoods, disaster recovery and health, community recovery; Disaster preparedness:Emergency/response preparedness, preparedness plan, early warning, awareness raising for disasters/disaster risk reduction, disaster education, evacuation drills, disaster preparedness tools, hazard mapping, disaster risk maps; Disaster risk reduction:Risk management, risk mitigation, risk prevention, community-based disaster risk reduction (CBDRM), risk assessment, vulnerability/capacity assessment, DRR policy, risk transfer, multi-hazards, building resilience, urban disaster resilience, vulnerability reduction, disaster root causes, Health-EDRM (Health Emergency and Disaster Risk Management) and disaster nursing, disaster laws and governance. B: Invited Papers: To add to the Original Research submitted, the Journal will also publish "Invited Viewpoint" articles, written by experts. These assess and curate from the vast amount of research undertaken globally, and are specifically aimed at a broader group of stakeholders in the Disasters field. We understand that it is increasingly difficult for specialists to keep up to date with the expanding volume of information published in the Disaster Science field, so these Invited Viewpoints will quickly bring readers up to speed with current thinking and progress in Disaster Science. Moreover, Invited Viewpoint Research articles will focus on the advancement and implementation of the four priority areas of the Sendai Framework: Understanding disaster risk Strengthening disaster risk governance to manage disaster risk Investing in disaster risk reduction for resilience Enhancing disaster preparedness for effective response and to "Build Back Better" in recovery, rehabilitation and reconstruction Each of these four key Sections of the Journal is managed by a number of Section Editors who are at the forefront of their fields. The Invited Viewpoints are shorter articles than conventional Research Papers, and will feature key issues, reviews or evaluations as it pertains to the Sendai Framework. Each Invited Viewpoint will be published in one of the four 'Principles of the Sendai Framework' Volumes. Invited Viewpoints may also include innovation insights (short communications on innovative scientific ideas for demand creation and/or field-based demand) and Science status (Science status: Periodic overview of the status of disaster studies globally, regionally and nationally in the form of small opinion pieces). All Papers in the Journal will be published Gold Open Access. Final Thought In the last 5 years, over 27,000 Disaster Science papers were published globally, representing 0.22% of the world's total scholarly output*. Despite this, the link between disaster research and practice/policymaking is not strong enough, and research outcomes have not been sufficiently leveraged into practice. It is important for the Disaster Science research field to strengthen the collaboration between researchers, practitioners, and policymakers as well as understand local needs, and facilitate research in countries that are particularly vulnerable to disaster risks. Progress in Disaster Science will aim to fulfill this role. *Global Outlook on disaster Science, 2017, Elsevier C. Instructions for Authors on invited papers Articles will generally be invited to fit in one of four regular Volumes published each year - based around the Sendai priorities above. They will fit into one of our 4 Volumes (or generally a subject that would fit across the themes of all of them, for example in the inaugural Volume). Please note the following important Characteristics of your paper are as follows: Short papers +/- 2000-2500 words (though longer can be possible in some cases. Discuss with the Section Editor or the Editor-in Chief). At least one figure to summarise the main concepts discussed At least 10% of the references should be selected and annotated as being papers of special interest (*) or outstanding interest (**) Annotated references MUST be from the past two years, and the annotation should provide a brief description of the major findings and the importance of the study. Articles can also include innovation insights (short communications on innovative scientific ideas for demand creation and/or field-based demand) and Science status (Science status: Periodic overview of the status of disaster studies globally, regionally and nationally in the form of small opinion pieces). This journal welcomes contributions that support and advance the UN's sustainable development goals, in particular SDG 5 (Gender Equality)

Radiation Measurements

ISSN: 1350-4487
5 Year impact factor: 1.9
Impact factor: 2

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.
