Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Applied nuclear and radiation physics has a wide impact on our society and research in this field is continuously growing. This is also due to its numerous applications ranging from medical and biology applications to material science up to nuclear energy research.
This Special Issue of JNE will publish some of the most recent advances in the field of theoretical and experimental developments of nuclear and radiation physics. The landscape of the subject is very wide and, therefore, limiting the selection of topics was necessary. This selection is based mainly on the competences of the Guest Editors. This volume will include some of the most recent as well as state-of-the-art experiments, simulations, and novelties on nuclear fusion, radiation therapy, radiation dosimetry and microdosimetry, nuclear, and radiation detectors. Applications to biology, medicine, physics, and engineering are also included in this issue.
In addition, the volume will also include review papers, to provide an overview of the field. These reviews cover some of the topics discussed by the regular papers, providing an introduction and a more comprehensive view of these topics. This could be beneficial to young scientists and readers less involved in these areas.
It is stressed that all the published papers are peer reviewed prior to publication. This ensures that this Special Issue of JNE has a very high scientific standard. The aim is to provide scientists and scholars, especially those in the early stages of their career, with a solid reference frame in the field of nuclear and applied radiation physics with the goal to help readers in their present work and to be a reference text for the future.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Nuclear Engineering is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1000 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
