Your institution may cover your Open Access fees in full or part, waiving JMRS publication charges to publish in JMRS. To view the list of countries and check your eligibility, click here.
To all authors: Authors should read the detailed Instructions for Authors* before submitting a manuscript to the Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences (JMRS).
*Update to Instructions: a waiver code is no longer required, ASMIRT members use their membership number to submit for free publication. Email JMRSProd@wiley.com with any questions.
Do you have insights into how technology is transforming medical radiation education? JMRS invites authors to submit articles to a special issue exploring how technology is reshaping teaching and learning in medical imaging, radiation therapy, nuclear medicine, and sonography.
Contributions are welcomed that examine the use, evaluation, and integration of innovations such as artificial intelligence (AI), virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR), simulation, remote learning tools, digital assessment, and e-portfolios across all stages of education and professional development.
Accepted articles for this special issue will appear online in Early View immediately and the issue is expected to be compiled in a virtual issue in early 2027. Submission deadline: 31 July 2026
What is the aim of the Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences Reviewer Mentoring Program?
The JMRS Reviewer Mentoring Program is designed to guide and support new or novice reviewers or those that have some experience in peer review but desire more formal training. The overall goal of the JMRS Editorial Review Board is to consistently provide quality written peer reviews that authors can use to guide them during the JMRS publication process.
What does it involve?
The mentee is assigned to a JMRS associate editor with similar professional interests. The associate editor will act as a mentor to help, guide and support the mentee reviewer when writing their peer review.
Once at least two manuscript reviews are completed to the satisfaction of the mentor, the mentee is deemed to have successfully completed the program. The successful participant receives a certificate of completion and added to the JMRS peer reviewer database. Upon successful completion of the program, the mentee will be invited to review for JMRS in the area of their expertise.
The program commenced in July 2024 with a pilot program of five matched mentors and mentees.
JMRS reaches an engaging and targeted audience of both practitioners and researchers in the field of medical physics, radiology, radiation oncology, nursing, psychology and sociology.
