Accepted papers will be published in a special issue of Physica Sripta, although publication in other of the Journals can be considered if the topic is appropiate. Papers mostly related to Radiation Protection and Dosimetry will be reviewed for publication in a special Issue of Radiation Protection Dosimetry.
