      abstract     = {This paper provides a brief account of the development of
                      this journal over the last fifty years. 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.},
