The Journal of Synchrotron Radiation is a bimonthly peer-reviewed scientific journal published by Wiley-Blackwell on behalf of the International Union of Crystallography.It was established in 1994 and covers research on synchrotron radiation and X-ray free-electron lasers and their applications.
The journal is indexed in the Science Citation Index Expanded. [1] According to the Journal Citation Reports , the journal has a 2017 impact factor of 1.085, ranking it 18th out of 33 journals in the category "Nuclear Science and Technology" [ 2 ] and 18th out of 20 journals in the category "Physics, Nuclear".
The impact factor (IF) or journal impact factor (JIF) of an academic journal is a scientometric index calculated by Clarivate that reflects the yearly mean number of citations of articles published in the last two years in a given journal, as indexed by Clarivate's Web of Science.

Synchrotron radiation was first observed by technician Floyd Haber, on April 24, 1947, at the 70 MeV electron synchrotron of the General Electric research laboratory in Schenectady, New York. [5] While this was not the first synchrotron built, it was the first with a transparent vacuum tube, allowing the radiation to be directly observed.
The journal is abstracted and indexed in: Chemical Abstracts Service [1] Index Medicus/MEDLINE/PubMed [2] Science Citation Index Expanded [3] Current Contents/Life Sciences [3] BIOSIS Previews [3] Scopus [4] According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2019 impact factor of 2.014. 5 year Impact Factor 2.063 [5]
The facility is the only synchrotron radiation facility in the Middle East and is one of around 60 in the world. [5] As of May 2017, the president of the SESAME Council is Rolf Heuer. He was preceded by Christopher Llewellyn Smith (2008-2017) and Herwig Schopper (2004-2008). [8] All three were previously directors-general of CERN.
Especially when artificially produced, synchrotron radiation is notable for its: High brilliance, many orders of magnitude more than with X-rays produced in conventional X-ray tubes: 3rd-generation sources typically have a brilliance larger than 10 18 photons·s −1 ·mm −2 ·mrad −2 /(0.1%BW), where 0.1%BW denotes a bandwidth 10 −3 ω centered around the frequency ω.
