Synchrotron radiation research is rapidly expanding with many new sources of radiation being created globally. Synchrotron radiation plays a leading role in pure science and in emerging technologies. Journal of Synchrotron Radiation is a fully open access journal and provides comprehensive coverage of the entire field of synchrotron radiation and X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) research including:
- instrumentation and experimental development supported by validated results
- beamline construction and operation
- theory, software and data analysis
- machine learning and artificial intelligence
- scientific applications in areas such as physics, chemistry, biology and medicine, nanoscience, materials science, environmental science and cultural heritage
The journal accepts the following types of manuscripts:
- research articles: original research of significance appealing to the wide readership of the journal
- short communications: brief articles that present original material for rapid dissemination
- review articles: feature articles, lead articles and topical reviews giving a concise and critical review of research areas of interest to the general readership of the journal
- beamline articles: providing details of beamlines available to users at synchrotron and XFEL facilities around the world
- computer programs: describing the purpose, strategy, computer language, machine requirements, input requirements and type of results obtained
- teaching and education: covering all aspects of an educational nature related to the general field of synchrotron radiation
