EPR going strong in MR

13 January 2026

Many of our readers have asked us why the name of our journal is so (excessively?) concise. The reason is simple. When we asked the members of our Advisory Board (among them were, in those days, Maurice Goldman and the regretted Jean Jeener and Ray Freeman) if they could suggest something better than "Journal of Electron and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance" or "Journal of Nuclear and Electron Spin Resonance" or "Journal of Electron Paramagnetic and Nuclear Magnetic Resonances", they found these proposals terribly unwieldy and clumsy, and came up with our current short and concise name. As it turned out, the field of EPR became an important source of manuscripts with no less than eight EPR articles published in 2025 and additional articles featuring DNP. This shows how remarkably lively this field is!
