EJNMMI Physics accepts the following article types. Click on an article type to view submission instructions.

Original Research Articles

Cover Letter A cover letter is required with the submission. The cover letter must explain why the manuscript should be published in EJNMMI Physics, explain any issues relating to journal policies, declare any potential competing interests, confirm all authors approved the submission, confirm the content is not published or under consideration elsewhere, and name the special issue if applicable.
Abstract An abstract is required. Abstract must not exceed 350 words. Abstract must be structured. Abstract must include the headings Background, Results, and Conclusions.
Manuscript Manuscript must include Background, Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusions, and a Declarations section, with Methods allowed after Background. Manuscript must include three to ten keywords, a list of abbreviations if abbreviations are used, a Declarations section with the specified subsections even if marked 'Not applicable', and documentation of any Large Language Model use in the Methods section or another suitable section.
References References may cite only published, in-press, or public e-print/preprint articles, clinical trial registration records, and abstracts; unpublished abstracts, unpublished data, and personal communications must be excluded; journal abbreviations must follow Index Medicus/MEDLINE; and web links or URLs must be numbered and included in the reference list.
Figures & Tables Tables must be included in the main manuscript file, with smaller tables placed within the manuscript and larger tables allowed at the end or as additional files if too wide, while figures must be uploaded separately and figure titles and legends must appear in the main manuscript rather than in the graphic file. Multi-panel figures must be submitted as a single composite file with keys incorporated into the graphic and closely cropped, and tables must not be submitted as figures, must use the word processor's Table object function, and must not use commas to indicate numerical values.
