[ RadSafe ] This "radiation journal" that probably doesn't exist

Because your name did name did not appear among the staff. I had expected a Visiting Professor to appear twice - at some other university + at Univ. of Ulster. For instance - when I was a Visiting Assistant Professor many years ago it referred to me being an assistant professor (at another university). I am still satisfied with the clarification the Univ. of Ulster gave. Sorry about not responding earlier here - I am on vacation and besides not hanging over the computer all the time - it is shared by four people when we have access to it. I will come back to your leukemia article when I get back to a place where I can get it on paper (no printer in this remote place).
 
Now the EBAB journal - I still wonder where the papers can be found. In addition how the peer-review process works/worked as there - to my knowledge - were no well published radiation biologists or radiation physicists in the Editorial committee (names can be found below).
 
My personal initiative only,
 
Bjorn Cedervall

Where is it and where can the corresponding papers be found (like the three in the ECRR book)? I have asked our university libraries previously and they didn't find the journal. Can one find some impact factor for instance?

That paper was simply an indicator - then an Editorial Board with you at the same time as you had six or eight publications (including one with Coghill if I recall correctly)
