ICRER 2011 offer the possibility of publishing all presented papers (oral or poster) in the journal "Radioprotection"" in a special issue "Colloques". As any scientific journal, "Radioprotection" offers an easy way to be visible and quoted. In addition to the printed issue, articles will be freely downloadable from the web site of the editor.

In addition, the Scientific Committee has arranged for the publication of about 15 of the most important papers in the Journal of Environmental Radioactivity (www.elsevier.com/locate/jenvrad). The authors will be specifically invited to prepare their paper for JER. These papers must meet the normal preparation and scientific standards for JER and will undergo peer review. The collected papers will be a Special Issue of JER, with the prominence accorded this journal. Abstracts of these papers may also appear in Radioprotection with citation to the JER Special Issue.
