The Journal of Nuclear Medicine (JNM) -- the flagship publication of SNM -- has once again been ranked the top medical imaging journal worldwide, according to new data released in the 2009 Journal Citation Reports -- published by Thomson Reuters. This is the second consecutive year in which JNM has taken the top spot.JNM -- a peer-reviewed, monthly publication -- earned an impact factor of 6.424 -- higher than other prominent journals in this category, such as Radiology, Human Brain Mapping and NeuroImage, as well as all of the nuclear medicine journals.

Published by the technologist section of the Society of Nuclear Medicine, the Journal of Nuclear Medicine Technology focuses entirely on the technology crucial to nuclear medicine. In peer-reviewed articles, every quarter the journal offers recent technically centered articles on imaging and instrumentation, radiopharmacy, quality assurance, radiation safety, and more. JNMT also serves as an invaluable continuing education tool, with teaching editorials, reviews of programs and certification updates, and continuing education articles.

Stimulated by the advent of modern computers the developments in the field of numerical mathematics have been numerous in the past decades. However, the developments in the East and West went in different directions. Since its inception in 1993, the (East-West) Journal of Numerical Mathematics has promoted the exchange of ideas and results in numerical mathematics between scientists in Eastern Europe and Western countries and familiarized the world scientific community with the activities of researchers in Russia and other Eastern European countries.Due to political changes in the last decade, the exchange of research results has become easier and as a result, research results from Eastern European countries no longer form the emphasis of this journal. The Journal of Numerical Mathematics continues to contain high-quality papers on various topics in numerical mathematics as well as papers with significant mathematical content in the field of computational fluid dynamics and other areas of computational science from the international research community. Additionally, the journal will publish selected and refereed papers from workshops and conferences.

Journal of Nursing Care Quality (JNCQ) is a peer-reviewed journal that provides practicing nurses as well as nurses who have leadership roles in nursing care quality programs with useful information regarding the application of quality principles and concepts in the practice setting. The journal offers a forum for the scholarly discussion of “real world” implementation of quality activities.

The Journal of Nursing Education provides a forum for peer-reviewed original articles and new ideas for nurse educators in various types and levels of nursing programs and enhances the teaching-learning process, promotes curriculum development, and stimulates creative innovation and research in nursing education. The Journal also provides features including educational innovations, research briefs, and syllabus selections. Subscribers can also benefit from online advanced release of articles before they appear in print.

TheJournal of Nursing Managementis an international forum which informs and advances the discipline of nursing management and leadership. The Journal encourages scholarly debate and critical analysis resulting in a rich source of evidence which underpins and illuminates the practice of management. innovation and leadership in nursing and health care. It publishes current issues and developments in practice in the form of research papers. in-depth commentaries and analyses. The complex and rapidly changing nature of global health care is constantly generating new challenges and questions. TheJournal of Nursing Managementwelcomes papers from researchers. academics. practitioners. managers. and policy makers from a range of countries and backgrounds which examine these issues and contribute to the body of knowledge in international nursing management and leadership worldwide. TheJournal of Nursing Managementaims to: - Inform practitioners and researchers in nursing management and leadership - Explore and debate current issues in nursing management and leadership - Assess the evidence for current practice - Develop best practice in nursing management and leadership - Examine the impact of policy developments - Address issues in governance. quality and safety The Journal often presents papers in ‘themed’ issues which serve as authoritative and substantive analyses of nursing management and leadership globally. Please see the "Upcoming themed issues" page for a list of future themes.

Journal of Nursing Regulation (JNR), the offical journal of the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN®), is a quarterly, peer-reviewed, academic and professional journal. It publishes scholarly articles that advance the science of nursing regulation, promote the mission and vision of NCSBN, and enhance communication and collaboration among nurse regulators, educators, practitioners, and the scientific community. The journal supports evidence-based regulation, addresses issues related to patient safety, and highlights current nursing regulatory issues, programs, and projects in both the United States and the international community. In publishing JNR, NCSBN's goal is to develop and share knowledge related to nursing and other healthcare regulation across continents and to promote a greater awareness of regulatory issues among all nurses.
