Write a Short Report

ASRT journal short reports contribute to the body of knowledge in your field and are a good way to share your experiences with others. These articles are reviewed by at least one R.T., but do not undergo the full peer-review process. Short reports may be technical or somewhat casual and can include tables, images or other supplemental information. References must be cited in AMA style.

Getting Started

To discuss topics for short reports that appear in ASRT's journals, Radiologic Technology and Radiation Therapist, contact publications@asrt.org.

Use the short report checklist to organize your article and keep track of your progress. All short reports and department articles are submitted online.
