BJR -- Articles Ahead of Print

The British Journal of Radiology is pleased to announce an exciting new feature, BJR Advance. Forthcoming scientific articles will be published online in BJR Advance one to two months before they are scheduled to appear in print.

BJR Advance contains full papers, reviews, and commentaries in Diagnostic Radiology, Radiotherapy and Oncology, Medical Physics, and Radiobiology published several weeks in advance of print. When papers appear in print, they will be removed from this feature and grouped with other papers in an issue and move to the current issue link of BJR Online. The publication date appears below each title, followed by the article's unique Digital Object Identifier (DOI).

BJR Advance manuscripts have undergone the complete peer-review process and are essentially the same version of the article that will appear in print, namely, they have been peer reviewed, revised, copyedited, typeset, and approved by the authors and BJR editors. There may be minor typographical errors, which will be corrected in the final print and online versions; however there will be no substantive factual changes. More on BJR Advance
