As a society published journal, Radiation Research has been a successful and enduring project of the Radiation Research Society (RRS). In 59 years of publication, the journal has produced 732 issues and 10,712 articles. As a nonprofit organization, RRS, like most societies, has used revenues from subscriptions to support, in part, the life of the organization (meetings, conferences and grants to new scholars). The model for scientific publishing, however, continues to evolve. Radiation Research has weathered the rise of electronic publishing, consolidation in the commercial publishing industry, the aggregation of library subscriptions and library subscription cuts. Recent years have seen dramatic changes in how scholarly publishing is financed and new funder and institution policies will accelerate these changes. The growth of open access to journal articles reflects the information habits of readers and facilitates the dissemination of new knowledge. The Radiation Research Society, however, will need to account for and adapt to changes in the publishing market if it intends to support the communication of peer reviewed scholarship in the future.
作为一个由学会主办的期刊，《辐射研究》（Radiation Research）是辐射研究学会（Radiation Research Society，RRS）的一个成功且持久的项目。在 59 年的出版历程中，该期刊共出版了 732 期，收录了 10712 篇文章。作为一个非营利组织，RRS 与大多数学会一样，利用订阅收入来部分支持组织的运作（会议、会议和对新学者的资助）。然而，科学出版模式仍在不断发展。《辐射研究》经受住了电子出版的兴起、商业出版业的整合、图书馆订阅的集中以及图书馆订阅的削减的考验。近年来，学术出版的融资方式发生了巨大变化，新的资助者和机构政策将加速这些变化。期刊文章的开放获取的增长反映了读者的信息习惯，并促进了新知识的传播。然而，如果辐射研究学会希望在未来支持同行评审奖学金的交流，就需要考虑并适应出版市场的变化。
