Guide to manuscript preparation for Radiological Physics and Technology

This guide is intended for authors who are willing to publish an original paper in journal Radiological Physics and Technology. They should follow the submission guidelines of the journal as well as the standard guidelines and conventions for scientific writing. The journal recommends formatting a paper in the standard sections, but requires including an extra section for declarations. The contents of each section or subsection must match its heading, and each paragraph should focus on a subtopic. Original contents should be detailed while unoriginal contents available elsewhere should be minimized and distinguished by reference citation. Tables and figures should be used to the minimum extent necessary to present essential information unambiguously and efficiently. The original manuscript of this guide is available online and may be used as a manuscript template. A checklist is also included for authors to use at the time of submission to the journal.
