International Journal of Radiation Biology publishes peer reviewed research on the biological effects of all types of radiation including medical application.

The journal provides a platform for the study of the biological effects of ionizing, UV and visible radiation, accelerated particles, electromagnetic fields, ultrasound, heat and related modalities.

International Journal of Radiation Biology covers topics that range from radiation chemistry to the spectrum of responses of living organisms and underlying mechanisms, including:

    Genetic abnormalities
    Repair phenomena
    Cell death
    Dose modifying agents
    Tissue responses


The journal addresses research on the application of basic studies for the medical uses of radiation, including practical problems such as physical and chemical adjuvants which improve the effectiveness of radiation in cancer therapy. Papers on the assessment of low doses of radiation hazards are also considered.

The journal accepts original research, reviews, current topic articles, technical notes and meeting reports.

The journal operates a single anonymized peer review policy.
