(generated from OpenAlex topic counts and CAS ranking data)
'BOPUXUE ZAZHI' (Chinese Journal of Magnetic Resonance, Abbreviation: Chinese J Magn Reson), is the official journal of the Committee of Magnetic Resonance of the Chinese Physics Society, and sponsored by Innovation Academy for Precision Measurement Science and Technology, CAS. It is a Chinese journal dedicated to magnetic resonance community and distributed publicly at home and abroad. The journal covers all areas of magnetic resonance, and interaction of atoms with microwave field, including high resolution liquid and solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR); in vivo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI); electron spin/paramagnetic resonance (ESR); nuclear quadruple resonance (NQR); laser magnetic resonance (LMR); atomic frequency standards etc. The journal seeks the papers about novel, new and significant developments in the physical principles underlying all these spectroscopies, and methodologies and applications of magnetic resonance in chemistry, biology, medicine, geochemistry, ecology, and related fields. The journal provides an international forum for mini-reviews and communications which merit urgent publication. Four high-quality and breakthrough categories of contribution are presented: Full papers, Research Notes, Rapid communications and Review articles.
