The Journal of Nuclear Science and Technology (JNST) publishes internationally peer-reviewed papers that contribute to the exchange of research, ideas and developments in the field of nuclear science and technology, to contribute peaceful and sustainable development of the World.
First established by the Atomic Energy Society of Japan (AESJ) in 1964, JNST is published bimonthly in print and monthly online. JNST is continued to be organized by, and an official publication of AESJ. The journal is listed in Thomson Scientific’s Science Citation Index (SCI).
JNST aims to serve its academic community, industry professionals, research institutions, government agencies and policy-makers concerned with the research, technological development and application of nuclear science and technology by:
Providing authoritative and up-to-date information on the field of nuclear science and technology
Promoting the exchange of ideas and research within the nuclear/atomic science community
Identifying areas of growth by assessing the conditions and constraints affecting the peaceful use of nuclear energy
Supporting the development of nuclear technology and applications in various markets for peaceful purposes
Responding to global energy and environmental needs and objectives through the study of nuclear science, technology and resources
