Annals of Nuclear Energy provides an international medium for the communication of original research, ideas and developments in all areas of the field of nuclear energy science and technology. Its scope embraces nuclear fuel reserves, fuel cycles and cost, materials, processing, system and component technology (fission only), design and optimization, direct conversion of nuclear energy sources, environmental control, reactor physics, heat transfer and fluid dynamics, structural analysis, fuel management, future developments, nuclear fuel and safety, nuclear aerosol, neutron physics, computer technology (both software and hardware), risk assessment, radioactive waste disposal and reactor thermal hydraulics. Papers submitted to Annals need to demonstrate a clear link to nuclear power generation/nuclear engineering. Papers which deal with pure nuclear physics, pure health physics, imaging, or attenuation and shielding properties of concretes and various geological materials are not within the scope of the journal. Also, papers that deal with policy or economics are not within the scope of the journal. Please read these guidelines for papers submitted to Annals which deal with computer codes and simulations.This journal welcomes contributions that support and advance the UN's sustainable development goals, in particular SDG 7 (Affordable and clean energy) and SDG 13 (Climate Action)

An interdisciplinary journal of nonlinear scienceChaos, Solitons & Fractals has an open access companion journal Chaos, Solitons & Fractals: X which has the same aims and scope, editorial board and peer-review process. .Chaos, Solitons & Fractals aims to be the leading journal in the interdisciplinary field of Nonlinear Science.It encourages the submission of high-quality articles (under the form of short communications, regular papers, and review papers) containing results which have a significant impact on the following subjects:nonlinear dynamics and non-equilibrium processes in physics and applied mathematics;complex matter and networks;biophysics, systems biology and computational biology;fluctuations and random processes;artificial intelligence, machine learning and big data analytics;self-organization and emergent phenomena;applications to social science, engineering and econophysics.The journal can only accept papers whose primary subject area lies within the above Aims & Scope.In particular, please take notice of the following, additional, criteria:In order to be acceptable, manuscripts of more mathematical nature should have a clear and explicit connection to physical insight or new qualitative features. The word "Solitons" should be understood as a label especially extended to all nonlinear integrable systems in complex natural phenomena. The paper should not bear on some explicit formulae, some standard solutions, constructions, or asymptotic methods.The journal is interested in articles providing strong insights in the mathematical theory of fractals that are profound for an important particular application, especially in complex systems. Numerical computations should only assist the developed results.The submitted Manuscripts should contain presentations which are a) of interdisciplinary interest, b) easily accessible also to a non-specialized-audience, and c) written in an excellent English style.Notice that if the above criteria are not fulfilled, submissions may be desk-rejected by the Journal's Editors without being sent to reviewers.

Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment

ISSN: 0168-9002
5 Year impact factor: 1.4
Impact factor: 1.5

Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research - section A (NIM-A) publishes papers on design, development and performance of scientific instruments including complex detector systems and large-scale facilities which utilize or study ionizing radiation. This scope includes the development of particle accelerators, particle beam sources, beam transport systems and target arrangements as well as the use of secondary phenomena and their enabling instruments such as neutron sources, synchrotron radiation sources and free electron lasers. It also includes all types of instrumentation for the detection and spectrometry of radiations from high energy processes and nuclear decays, as well as innovative instrumentation for nuclear reactors, nuclear security, nuclear medical diagnoses and therapy, astrophysics, planetary science, and environmental protection. Specialized electronics for these instruments as well as computerization of measurements and control systems in this area also find their place in NIM-A, as do new simulation codes and analysis tools*). Theoretical as well as experimental papers are accepted. *) We receive an increasing number of submissions that are based exclusively on simulated data generated by standard codes such as ANSYS, Geant4, MAFIA, to name a few. Often the codes are used in a black-box manner to simulate relatively simple concepts and geometries without any validation of the results. Such submissions if found to fall short of our thresholds for originality and innovation may be rejected. We face a similar situation related to the use of standard neural networks (deep learning) that are used to analyse all kinds of data (experimental or Monte-Carlo generated). Unless there is a clear motivation and a significant performance increase compared to a conventional analysis, such submissions may be rejected without starting the review process.
