Scope
Aims, scope and focus
CONCEPTS IN MAGNETIC RESONANCE PART B-MAGNETIC RESONANCE ENGINEERING is published by Wiley-Liss Inc.. By OpenAlex counts of its recent articles, its largest topics are Advanced MRI Techniques and Applications, Advanced NMR Techniques and Applications and NMR spectroscopy and applications, together about 60% of its articles. (generated from OpenAlex topic counts and CAS ranking data)
Concepts in Magnetic Resonance consolidates the lore of magnetic resonance into effective and easily understandable presentations for practitioners. The journal provides a forum for researchers to discuss fundamental aspects of magnetic resonance, both old and new, that relate to their research, but are difficult to include in a research paper. Such articles are clearly valuable to the larger magnetic resonance community in conveying an understanding of basic principles and are expected to be useful for instruction in research settings. Articles are expected to maintain the highest standards of scientific and educational rigor and substance. The target audience consists of advanced undergraduate and graduate students, laboratory technical personnel, scientists new to magnetic resonance, and to more experienced scientists who wish to broaden their comprehension of magnetic resonance concepts as the field grows and expands. Each article must not only be scientifically sound but must also have a pedagogical delivery.
