EJNMMI Research aims to be a platform of lively scientific exchange on new findings in basic, translational and clinical research in nuclear medicine and related matters. It addresses research in biology and medicine together with radiochemistry, radiopharmacy, radiophysics, dosimetry and instrumentation. The open access model speeds up the publication process and therefore favours rapid communication of new scientific results, even if still preliminary. Manuscripts are accepted for publication only after thorough peer review.

EJNMMI Research has been launched by Springer as a companion journal to the EJNMMI and not as a competitor. It offers space to authors whose manuscripts, despite high quality, cannot be accommodated by the EJNMMI. Consequently, authors of original manuscripts rejected by the EJNMMI are encouraged to submit their work to EJNMMI Research.

The journal also offers the possibility to publish reviews, short communications and selected case reports. Educational papers set out to improve and expand understanding and knowledge in particularly active research domains. Editorials and letters complete the exchange of views and ideas. We also welcome submission of well-designed studies that did not confirm the initial hypothesis, as we are convinced that they contribute to the advancement of science and should therefore be made available to the scientific community.
