The editorial team of Radiation Physics and Engineering (RPE) Journal is very thrilled to announce that RPE has been accepted for indexing in Scopus. RPE is an open access publishing collection that strives to provide a high-quality medium for the publication of substantial, original and scientific papers on the development and the enhancement of nuclear physics and nuclear engineering researches at the national as well as international level.

Indexing in Scopus, one of the largest trusted, source-neutral abstract and citation databases of peer-reviewed literature, is a significant milestone for RPE. This indexing is a sign of compliance with Scopus standards and the high quality of the published research, and enhances the visibility, discoverability, and impact of our published literatures in the global scientific community. Also, RPE recently achieved an A rank in the Journals Commission Ranking of Ministry of Science, Research and Technology (MSRT) in IRAN.

The RPE editorial team is very pleased with this achievement and is grateful to everyone who contributed to meeting the rigorous quality standards required by Scopus (including authors, reviewers, and officials from K.N. Toosi University of Technology).
