Articles should deal with subjects of common interest to all
radiographers and radiological technologists.
The Editorial Committee may decide not to publish an
article if they see it not suitable to the content of the
ISRRT Newsletter.
All articles must be sent in the English language. However,
other languages may be considered with the permission of
the Editor and her committee.
➢ Types of articles
1. Full-length papers, with a maximum of 2000 words,
on research, modern developments, historical
achievements, education, management, and health
and safety. A summary of about 100 words and
three key words may be translated into one of the
main languages such as French, Spanish, German,
Portugese, Japanese or Chinese to facilitate colleagues
for whom the English language is difficult. If the
article is in another language then the summary and
keywords must be in English. References from
books should include the surname and initials of the
author(s), year of publication, book title, publisher’s
name, and the city and country of publication.

publication.
4. News from other countries.
5. Reports of meetings.
6. Announcements of forthcoming events.
➢ Presentation
Always keep in mind that the ISRRT journal is a
“Newsletter” containing information on ISRRT activities
and articles of common interest to colleagues throughout
the world. Reports should, therefore, be kept short and the
language easy to read.
To assist the Editor in the layout and production of the
newsletter, the following format must be used.
➢ Submission of material
Articles should be submitted in electronic form, preferably
in MS Word using Times or Helvetica. All charts,
diagrams, illustrations and photographs need to be saved
as separate files. The author should retain a copy of the
submission as the Editor cannot accept responsibility
for loss or damage. Send all submissions to either the
Secretary General or the Editor. If it is not possible to
send your submission via e-mail, please use discs (floppy,
ZIP or CD-ROM). Contact details are published at the
front of the newsletter.
➢ Photographs, illustrations, graphs, charts &
diagrams
Computer generated illustrations, graphs, charts and
diagrams should be high resolution and saved as separate
files (either .eps, .tiff, .PDF or .jpeg format) for publishing.
PowerPoint files are not accepted. Original negatives and
radiographs will not be accepted for publication unless
otherwise already photographed and scanned.
