Publisher John Wiley & Sons, Inc., US, has announced the launch of Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences (JMRS), combining The Radiographer (now in its 60th volume) from the Australian Institute of Radiography (AIR) and Shadows (in its 56th Volume) from the New Zealand Institute of Medical Radiation Technology (NZIMRT). The new, combined journal joins Wiley as part of the Wiley Open Access program. Wiley will also publish AIR's monthly newsletter, Spectrum.
JMRS is an international and multidisciplinary peer-reviewed journal that accepts manuscripts related to medical imaging / diagnostic radiography, radiation therapy, nuclear medicine, medical ultrasound / sonography, and the complementary disciplines of medical physics, radiology, radiation oncology, nursing, psychology and sociology. The combined editorial boards have come together under the leadership of the Editor-in-Chief, Cherry Agustin, Radiation Therapist Educator at The Crown Princess Mary Cancer Centre Westmead, Sydney, and the deputy editors Dr Ann Poulos (Adjunct Associate Professor, Discipline of Medical Radiation Sciences, Faculty of Health Sciences, The University of Sydney) and Hannah Thompson (Senior Clinical Tutor, Radiation Therapist, Midcentral Health Ltd. Palmerston North, New Zealand) to bring this publication to the professions worldwide.
Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences is the latest addition to Wiley's portfolio of Radiography, Radiology & Imaging journals and will benefit from relationships with widely respected titles including the Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology and Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences is open to submissions now.
