Special issue of
Nuclear Science and Engineering.

All authors presenting at PHYSOR 2026 are invited to submit their work to a special issue of Nuclear Science and Engineering. Submissions are open now with a deadline of 27 July. Click here to submit at NSE Submission Portal.

 

Details:

  • Your submitted paper should be derived from your conference paper but must be updated to include final results and a full description of the methods/technology.
  • Your paper will go through the standard journal peer review process. This invitation is not a guarantee of acceptance or publication.
  • Please be mindful of the article type when submitting your paper. See the descriptions online.
  • Standard publication in NSE is free of charge, while open access publication is available for a flat fee.
  • There is no restriction on length. Please follow submission guidelines at the journal website.
  • Accepted papers are published online ahead of print, immediately following copyediting and typesetting—usually within 5 weeks. The compiled special issue will follow, with print publication estimated for Q3 2027.
