New Journal LOI: current statusReport to NPSS AdCom Dimitris Visvikis 19 July 2014
Committee membership • DimitrisVisvikis (NMIS, Chair) • Joel Karp (NMIS, indexing) • Paul Dressendorfer (pubs) • WeihuaJiang (PPS&T) • MounirLaroussi (PSAC) • Bob Zwaska (PAST) • Mark Kushner (PSAC) 19 July 2014
Objectives • Propose a new journal that federates all activities of NPSS related to medical applications • Cover both imaging and therapy domains from detector development to treatment devices including associated software developments and clinical/preclinical proof of concept studies • Target a number of publications currently published from our members in physics journals (PMB, MedPhys, JofPhys_D, BiolApplPhys), specialist medical journals (EJNMMI, JNM, CPM), and non-specialized journals (ex.PlosOne) 19 July 2014
