Open Access Publications

The Institute's work is published in both traditional journals (e.g. the prestigious imaging journal IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging) and open access journals. For traditional journals, a preprint is uploaded to ArXiv whenever possible to make the research results freely available.

Furthermore, Tobias Knopp, in his capacity as Editor-in-Chief, has established a novel scientific Open Access journal, which makes all articles available under the Creative Commons License (CC-BY-4.0). The International Journal on Magnetic Particle Imaging (IJMPI) was established in 2015 with the objective of publishing new research developments within the MPI community.
