Aims & Scope

Magnetic Resonance Letters is sponsored by Innovation Academy of Precision Measurement Science and Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (hereinafter referred to as APM).

Magnetic Resonance Lettersis sponsored byInnovation Academy of Precision Measurement Science and Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences(hereinafter referred to as APM). In the early days of the Wuhan Institute of Physics and Mathematics, CAS (WIPM, CAS), one of the predecessors of APM, renowned physicist Mr. Wang Tianjuan, returned to China and established the discipline of magnetic resonance spectroscopy in China. After that, several generations of scientists including academician Chao-hui Ye, have taken the mission of serving the country with science and technology to heart, and have developed nuclear magnetic resonance methods and spectrometer technology, marching on the forefront of the world's magnetic resonance discipline. After decades of development, the Institute has continuously consolidated its disciplinary foundation and achieved a number of international leading achievements in the field of magnetic resonance, and has built a number of national and provincial magnetic resonance research platforms, such as the State Key Laboratory of Magnetic Resonance and Atomic and Molecular Physics, the National Center for Magnetic Resonance in Wuhan, and CAS Key Laboratory of Magnetic Resonance in Biological Systems. APM has always been committed to promoting the development of magnetic resonance spectroscopy. It is also recognized as one of the most important centers in the field, representing the highest level of magnetic resonance research in China, and hence being supported with considerable scientific resources to publish a first-class English magnetic resonance journal.
