Having started in 1962 as a modest outlet for reporting research results in radiochemistry, Radiochimica Acta soon became a respected specialist journal. There has been long-term continuity both in editorial activity and publishing management, resulting in well-defined publishing policies. Starting with the Founding Editors, the Board of Editors was changed only in 1977 and 1996. Similarly the original Publisher, Akademischer Verlag, published the journal until 1983. Since then Oldenbourg Wissenschaftsverlag has been managing the publication process. The journal has been broad-based, encompassing all chemical aspects of nuclear science and technology. It has played a significant role in the dissemination of new knowledge, occasionally by bringing forth special issues in fast emerging areas. It has kept pace with the changing trends in worldwide radiochemical research. Whereas by about the middle of 1980s all areas of radiochemistry were equally represented, today the emphasis is more on applied topics, such as chemical behaviour and mobility of actinides and fission products, accelerator-based radiochemistry, medical applications of radioactivity, etc. The number of published scientific contributions to date amounts to about 5100, covering about 30 000 printed pages. The total number of authors is around 7000. The journal follows a strict peer-review system and is supported by a network of about 400 referees. About 200 manuscripts are received per year, out of which 30-35% are rejected. The impact factor (IF) of the journal is almost the highest among the radiochemistry related journals, and the cited half-life (CHL) among the highest of all chemistry and physics oriented journals. In short, today Radiochimica Acta is a well established, internationally recognised periodical. Presently, approximately 50 percent of the published contributions originate from Europe, 25 percent from North- and South America and the remaining 25 percent from Asia, Australia and Africa together. All articles are published in English, and the journal is available to readership both on-line and in printed form. 000134080 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF2-333$$a333 - Pathophysiological Mechanisms of Neurological and Psychiatric Diseases (POF2-333)$$cPOF2-333$$fPOF II$$x0 000134080 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF2-89573$$a89573 - Neuroimaging (POF2-89573)$$cPOF2-89573$$fPOF II T$$x1 000134080 588__ $$aDataset connected to Web of Science, , juser.fz-juelich.de 000134080 650_7 $$2WoSType 000134080 773__ $$0PERI:(DE-600)2039575-9$$a10.1524/ract.2012.1956$$n8-9$$p483 - 492$$tRadiochimica acta$$v100$$y2012 000134080 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/134080/files/%5BRadiochimica%20Acta%5D%20Fifty%20years%20of%20Radiochimica%20Acta%20a%20brief%20overview.pdf$$yOpenAccess 000134080 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/134080/files/%5BRadiochimica%20Acta%5D%20Fifty%20years%20of%20Radiochimica%20Acta%20a%20brief%20overview.gif?subformat=icon$$xicon$$yOpenAccess 000134080 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/134080/files/%5BRadiochimica%20Acta%5D%20Fifty%20years%20of%20Radiochimica%20Acta%20a%20brief%20overview.jpg?subformat=icon-1440$$xicon-1440$$yOpenAccess 000134080 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/134080/files/%5BRadiochimica%20Acta%5D%20Fifty%20years%20of%20Radiochimica%20Acta%20a%20brief%20overview.jpg?subformat=icon-180$$xicon-180$$yOpenAccess 000134080 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/134080/files/%5BRadiochimica%20Acta%5D%20Fifty%20years%20of%20Radiochimica%20Acta%20a%20brief%20overview.jpg?subformat=icon-640$$xicon-640$$yOpenAccess 000134080 909CO $$ooai:juser.fz-juelich.de:134080$$pdnbdelivery$$pVDB$$pdriver$$popen_access$$popenaire 000134080 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)131840$$aForschungszentrum Jülich GmbH$$b0$$kFZJ 000134080 9132_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-573$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF3-570$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF3-500$$aDE-HGF$$bKey Technologies$$lDecoding the Human Brain$$vNeuroimaging$$x0 000134080 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF2-333$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF2-330$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF2-300$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF2$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$aDE-HGF$$bGesundheit$$lFunktion und Dysfunktion des Nervensystems$$vPathophysiological Mechanisms of Neurological and Psychiatric Diseases$$x0 000134080 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF2-89573$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF3-890$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF3-800$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF3$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$aDE-HGF$$bProgrammungebundene Forschung$$lohne Programm$$vNeuroimaging$$x1 000134080 9141_ $$y2012 000134080 915__ $$0LIC:(DE-HGF)CCBYNCND3$$2HGFVOC$$aCreative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 000134080 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0150$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bWeb of Science Core Collection 000134080 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1040$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bZoological Record 000134080 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0100$$2StatID$$aJCR 000134080 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0200$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bSCOPUS 000134080 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0110$$2StatID$$aWoS$$bScience Citation Index 000134080 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0111$$2StatID$$aWoS$$bScience Citation Index Expanded 000134080 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0510$$2StatID$$aOpenAccess 000134080 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0010$$2StatID$$aJCR/ISI refereed 000134080 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0199$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bThomson Reuters Master Journal List 000134080 9201_ $$0I:(DE-Juel1)INM-5-20090406$$kINM-5$$lNuklearchemie$$x0 000134080 980__ $$ajournal 000134080 980__ $$aVDB 000134080 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED 000134080 980__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)INM-5-20090406 000134080 9801_ $$aFullTexts
