receives its first Impact Factor

PDF Version

 

We are delighted to announce that our journal Physics and Imaging in Radiation Oncology (phiRO) has now received its first Impact Factor of 3.7.

This recognition from the scientific community reinforces phiRO as an impactful journal, emphasizing the high quality and relevance of the papers we feature. Publishing currently more than 100 papers per year, including thematic special issue contents as well as highlight papers from our annual conference, we continue to support and serve scientists within our field.

The Impact Factor highlights the excellence of the papers we publish and their relevance to academic peers. The five most cited recent papers in phiRO have been related to:

• Adaptive radiotherapy based on cone-beam CT (Sibolt et al. phiRO 2021;17:1-7 and Maspero et al. phiRO 2020;14:24-31)
• MRI-guided radiotherapy (Finazzi et al. phiRO 2020;14:17-23)
• Image segmentation (Vaassen et al. phiRO 2019;13:1-6)
• Radiotherapy dosimetry (Olaciregui-Ruiz et al. phiRO 2020;15:108-116)

Being a unique medical physics and imaging journal focused on radiation oncology, phiRO is very well positioned to become the journal of choice for all physics and imaging scientists in our field, including in particular the members of our ESTRO society.

We are looking forward to receiving your recent, high-quality research results for publication in phiRO soon! Together, let us continue to advance the field of radiation oncology through innovative research and collaboration.

Kind regards,
