<strong>International</strong> <strong>Journal</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
LOW RADIATION
Scope <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Journal</strong><br />
The IJLR is a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the publication <strong>of</strong> research articles,<br />
review papers and technical notes in all domains related to low-dose radiation,<br />
among which are the biological and health effects in humans and the biota, in vitro<br />
and in vivo research on low radiation effects, regulatory and policy aspects, risk<br />
estimation and public perception. The main focus <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Journal</strong> is on health and<br />
biological effects that occur at radiation levels comparable to those encountered in<br />
the natural environment, at the workplace or in the environment under normal or<br />
accidental situations when the doses incurred are low enough not to result in<br />
deterministic effects.<br />
Subject coverage:<br />
• <strong>Radiation</strong> risks in perspective<br />
• Radio-induced cancer among cancer risks<br />
• Epidemiological data<br />
• Effect <strong>of</strong> radiation on radiation workers<br />
• Medical cohorts<br />
• Models and controversies in radiation<br />
carcinogenesis<br />
• The effects <strong>of</strong> radiation on mammalian cells<br />
and the stress responses in cells and tissues<br />
• Variations in natural background irradiation<br />
throughout the world: from 1 to 100mSv/year<br />
• Review <strong>of</strong> radiation exposure limits -<br />
worldwide<br />
• <strong>Radiation</strong> protection<br />
• Hormesis<br />
• Genomic instability<br />
• Bystander effects<br />
• Changing paradigms and radiation protection<br />
• Impact <strong>of</strong> low dose/dose rates on DNA<br />
repair/disrepair<br />
• Transgenerational effects<br />
• <strong>Low</strong> dose irradiation and immune response<br />
• Genetive predispositon<br />
• Constitutive and induced repair<br />
• Facilities and tools for studying low dose<br />
repairs<br />
