Journal Specific Instructions

Special Authors' guidelines for Nuklearmedizin/Nuclear Medicine

Aims and Scopes
Our journal Nuklearmedizin/Nuclear Medicine aims to advance the field of Nuclear Medicine by publishing original research that contributes to the understanding of nuclear medicine diagnostics and therapy.
The scope of the journal includes, but is not limited to:
  • Clinical Applications: Studies on the use of nuclear medicine in diagnosing and treating various medical conditions.
  • Technological Innovations: Research on new imaging technologies, radiopharmaceuticals, and techniques.
  • Basic Science: Investigations into the underlying biological mechanisms and processes related to nuclear medicine.
  • Radiation Safety: Research focused on the safety and efficacy of nuclear medicine procedures.
  • Comparative Studies: Comparative analyses of nuclear medicine techniques with other diagnostic and therapeutic methods.
Nuklearmedizin/NuclearMedicine publishes Original Papers, Review Articles, Research Letters, Case Reports, and Editorials.
Original Paper
Original papers present novel findings, are well-structured, and include comprehensive data and analysis. They follow a format that includes an abstract, introduction, materials and methods, results, discussion, and references (for details on structure see section Special Authors' guidelines for Nuklearmedizin/Nuclear Medicine below).
Review Article
Review articles provide comprehensive, critical assessments of existing literature in the field of nuclear medicine. They aim to summarize current knowledge, identify gaps, and propose future research directions. These articles are valuable for synthesizing information and guiding both clinical practice and further research.
Research Letter
Research letters are brief communications reporting original and innovative research findings based on preliminary or limited datasets. They aim to rapidly disseminate exploratory results of high scientific relevance that may serve as a foundation for further investigation.
Editorial
Editorials should present cogent, cohesive, and compelling discussions or important insights that advance understanding of an article the editorial is accompanying. They may also address current issues, journal policies, or new initiatives. Editorials are concise, authoritative, and thought-provoking.
Case Report
Case reports will be published as short communications. Therefore, strict guidelines and limitations are necessary. The case should be presented in a manner that clearly highlights its uniqueness. Extensive introductions and discussions should be avoided.
