Impact Factor for European Radiology
The 2009 ISI Impact Factor has just been released and has confirmed the
continued sustained excellence of European Radiology, ESR's
official journal. An IF of 3.589 places the journal 13th (up from
14th) out of 104 titles in the 'radiology, nuclear medicine and
molecular imaging' section, and shows that European Radiology is Europe's
no. 1 journal in general radiology!
Cessation of submissions and publication of ‘Case Reports’ and ‘Interpretation Corner’ cases
Please note that – following a decision taken by the Editorial Board at ECR 2010 – Case Reports and Interpretation Corner cases will no longer be considered for publication in European Radiology, primarily because of space limitations.
Thus, Interpretation Corner quiz cases will no longer be presented in the journal after December 2010. Despite the popularity of Interpretation Corner over the years, its relevance has decreased with the increasing scientific nature of European Radiology and the advent of online publication and electronic teaching files. Notably, these teaching files include the highly successful European Society of Radiology's EURORAD database ( www.eurorad.org), which continues to welcome the submission of interesting and educational Case Reports.
Note that reports of a short series of cases with a strong educational message and pictorial reviews are now most welcome submissions to the alternative ESR journal Insights into Imaging ( www.i3-journal.org) which is a platform for:
- original articles
- educational material, such as state of the art reviews
- scientific and best-practice knowledge
- guidelines
- recommendations & statements from leading radiological societies in Europe
New ESR journal: Insights into Imaging
Insights into Imaging is a platform for educational and best practice articles - please also consider it for your future submissions!
New Instructions for Authors
To increase the high quality of European Radiology, and to set
the highest standards, the Instructions for authors have been edited and
updated by the editorial team. The major change in submission from now on is the introduction of a new Conflict of Interest Disclosure and Guarantor Form , which now also includes
the nomination of a ' Guarantor' of the study. This person may be the tenured senior author, but it could be the Head
of Department, Research Lead or other tenured staff member who is deemed
to take overall responsibility for all aspects of the study (ethics,
consent, data handling and storage and all other aspects of Good
Research Practice).
This procedure has been agreed on by all leading radiological journals
worldwide to avoid ethical, plagiarism and gift authorship issues. Other changes and improvements include more detailed information of how
to number and name your images and illustrations and better guidelines
on titles, abstracts and keywords.
