Best open-access journals for Radiology, Nuclear Medicine and Imaging
The top 40 of 80 Radiology, Nuclear Medicine and Imaging journals, open-access only, ranked by Scimago quartile, then by how central Radiology, Nuclear Medicine and Imaging is to each journal, then OpenAlex cites/paper (2-year window), drawn from a 17,500-venue index. Predatory venues are excluded; the FAQ below gives the exact ranking rule. These are field-wide rankings — for a shortlist matched to your specific paper, paste your title and abstract into the Journal Finder (a free account starts with 25 welcome credits).

“Cites/paper” is the OpenAlex 2-year citation rate — a transparent signal, not a licensed Impact Factor. Many regional and open-access journals are strong but aren’t covered by Scimago, so they show “no Scimago quartile”; that’s a coverage gap, not a quality judgement.
