The Journal of Radiation Research is a peer-reviewed scientific journal covering radiation biology, radiation oncology, and related fields of radiation protection.《放射研究杂志》（Journal of Radiation Research）是一份涵盖辐射生物学、辐射肿瘤学以及放射防护相关领域的同行评审科学期刊。 The journal is published as open access, featuring original research articles, reviews, and short communications.该期刊以开放获取形式出版，发表原创研究论文、综述及简报。
The journal focuses on a broad interdisciplinary spectrum of basic and clinical radiation sciences.该期刊聚焦于基础与临床辐射科学的广泛跨学科研究。 Major subject areas include radiation biology, radiation-induced DNA damage and repair, and radiation therapy and oncology.主要涵盖的研究方向包括辐射生物学、辐射诱发的DNA损伤与修复、放射治疗学与肿瘤学。 Additionally, it welcomes studies in radiation physics, environmental radioecology, and nuclear emergency response and radiation protection strategies.此外，该刊还接收辐射物理学、环境放射生态学以及核事故应急与放射防护策略等方面的研究。
The journal was established in 1960 by the Japan Radiation Research Society.该期刊由日本放射影响学会（Japan Radiation Research Society）于1960年创办。 Over its course of development, the Japanese Society for Radiation Oncology joined as a co-sponsoring organization.在发展历程中，日本放射线肿瘤学会（Japanese Society for Radiation Oncology）也加入成为其共同主办方。 Previously distributed by other academic publishing entities, the journal later transitioned to being published by Oxford University Press on behalf of both societies.该期刊此前曾由其他学术出版机构发行，后转由牛津大学出版社（Oxford University Press）代表两家学会出版。
The journal operates under a dual Editor-in-Chief structure, representing the specialized fields of radiation biology and radiation oncology respectively.该期刊实行双主编负责制，分别代表辐射生物学和辐射肿瘤学专业领域。 The Editor-in-Chief for the radiation biology section is Akihisa Takahashi from Gunma University, Japan.放射生物学领域的主编为日本群马大学的高桥昭久（Akihisa Takahashi）。 The Editor-in-Chief for the radiation oncology section is Yasushi Nagata from Hiroshima University, Japan.放射肿瘤学领域的主编为日本广岛大学的永田靖（Yasushi Nagata）。 The editorial board consists of associate editors and senior members from universities and research institutions worldwide, who oversee peer review and maintain academic rigor.编委会由来自全球各大学及研究机构的多位副主编和资深编委组成，共同监督同行评审流程并把控学术质量。
