If you give a presentation, whether oral or poster, at SORMA West 2025, please consider submitting a manuscript to the Proceedings, which will be published as a special issue of IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science (TNS).
There will be no “Conference Record” or other unrefereed compendium of papers, and we will not make slides or posters available after the event. The only publication will be the refereed Special Issue.
The deadline is August 8.
The Presentation Imperative
The Special Issue is reserved for papers that were actually presented. If you cannot attend the conference and give the talk or poster, please designate a co-author or other knowledgeable colleague to make the presentation. It is very helpful to inform us in advance if someone other than the submitting or corresponding author will give the presentation.
Unpresented manuscripts may be submitted directly to TNS, which will consider them for a regular issue.
This Special Issue is Refereed
TNS is a premier peer-reviewed journal with a significant distribution within the nuclear science and medical imaging communities. The Special Issue will be fully refereed. Prospective authors should consult the TNS homepage for a description of the publication.
TNS discourages the submission of progress reports and manuscripts that are more suitable for distribution as an institution’s internal document. They expect each manuscript to be cast in the context of the state of the art of its field, including appropriate motivation for the work; to present a complete description of the work performed; and to present a set of conclusions supported by the measured and/or calculated data.
How to Submit
Submittal, refereeing, editing and publication will be coordinated by TNS.
