Scope

Nuclear Science and Engineering is the oldest peer-reviewed journal in its field. Our aim now is the same as when we started publication in 1956, which is to provide the leading source of information on fundamental and applied research in all scientific areas related to the peaceful use of nuclear energy for the benefit of all. We publish technical papers, technical notes, critical reviews, rapid communications, book reviews, and letters to the editor. Technical papers present archival, original contributions to the field of knowledge. Technical notes describe preliminary results or limited extensions of previously reported work. Critical reviews combine a focused topical overview with an extensive literature review to critically evaluate the state-of-the-art, but do not necessarily add new knowledge to the field. Rapid communications provide speedy publication, after accelerated review and processing, of innovative work of high and immediate interest to the journal readership. Book reviews give an overview of a recently published book, including a brief summary and statement of value to the community. Letters to the editor provide an expeditious medium for comments on editorial policies and for discussions on the content of other contributions. We welcome submissions that explore the following topics: Fundamental physics related to nuclear systems Theoretical physics Radiation physics Reactor physics Nuclear criticality Nuclear data and reactions Neutron transport Reactor core analysis and modeling Uncertainty analysis and quantification Reactor and fuel performance analysis Transient analysis Fluid dynamics/multiphase flow Heat transfer Fission product yields Waste product analysis Depletion/burnup of nuclear fuels.

SJR

The SJR is a size-independent prestige indicator that ranks journals by their 'average prestige per article'. It is based on the idea that 'all citations are not created equal'. SJR is a measure of scientific influence of journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from It measures the scientific influence of the average article in a journal, it expresses how central to the global scientific discussion an average article of the journal is.

Citations per document

This indicator counts the number of citations received by documents from a journal and divides them by the total number of documents published in that journal. The chart shows the evolution of the average number of times documents published in a journal in the past two, three and four years have been cited in the current year. The two years line is equivalent to journal impact factor ™ (Thomson Reuters) metric.

Cites per Doc

Evolution of the number of total citation per document and external citation per document (i.e. journal self-citations removed) received by a journal's published documents during the three previous years. External citations are calculated by subtracting the number of self-citations from the total number of citations received by the journal’s documents.
