Radiation Protection in Australasia (RPA) is the official journal of the Australasian Radiation Protection Society Inc (ARPS). It is a journal that publishes original research articles, reviews, case studies, technical notes, and letters on all aspects of radiation protection and related fields. The journal aims to promote the advancement of knowledge and practice in radiation protection and to foster communication and collaboration among radiation protection professionals in the Australasian region and beyond.
The journal is published twice a year, in May and November/December. The deadlines for article submissions are 1 April and 1 October, respectively. Authors are encouraged to submit their manuscripts online through the journal’s website, where they can also find the instructions for authors, editorial policies, and ethical guidelines.
The Australasian Radiation Protection Society invites contributors of original scientific articles, technical notes, discussion papers and comments on topics concerned with radiation safety including:
Manuscripts submitted for publication as journal articles may be refereed; if accepted, they are annotated: 'Article', 'Technical Note', 'tutorial paper' etc. on the title page. Other contributions may be accepted for publication without refereeing, subject to editorial discretion; they are marked: 'Contribution'. In accordance with the Society's policy, any paper presented at an annual conference of the Australasian Radiation Protection Society may be published, without refereeing, for public record; such papers are marked: 'Conference Paper'.
Please provide hard copy of article plus text and graphics electronically with the following properties:
References in the text should be indexed by a number (eg.,7) and listed at the end thus:
