Scope
Aims, scope and focus
Applied Magnetic Resonance is published by Springer Vienna and is in Zone 4 of Physics & Astronomy in the CAS Journal Ranking (2025 upgraded edition). By OpenAlex counts of its recent articles, its largest topics are Electron Spin Resonance Studies, Advanced NMR Techniques and Applications and NMR spectroscopy and applications, together about 40.6% of its articles. (generated from OpenAlex topic counts and CAS ranking data)
Applied Magnetic Resonance provides an international forum for the application of magnetic resonance methodology (ESR, NMR, MRI, their derivatives and combinations) in physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, geochemistry, ecology, engineering, and related fields. The contents include articles with a strong emphasis on new applications, and on new experimental methods. Routine applications (such as e.g. standard analytical and clinical studies) or manuscripts not directly related to magnetic resonance methodology are outside the scope of the journal. Fields of interest: Chemical physics, condensed matter physics, analytical chemistry, chemical kinetics, structure determination and spectroscopy, medical physics
