{"entity":{"id":"theranostics-journal","kind":"journal","name":"Theranostics","aka":[],"tldr":"A fully free-to-read journal that publishes research combining diagnosis and treatment, including radioactive drugs.","summary":"Theranostics is a biweekly, fully open-access journal established in 2011 and published by Ivyspring International Publisher. It covers in vitro diagnostics and prognostics, in vivo molecular imaging, molecular therapeutics, image-guided therapy, biosensors, systems biology and translational and personalised medicine — a broad remit that in practice makes it one of the most frequently cited venues for new PET and SPECT radiotracers, radioligand therapy chemistry, and nanomedicine-based theranostic agents.\n\nArticles are published under a CC BY-NC licence and are immediately free to read, with no subscription barrier; the journal states full compliance with NIH public access requirements. It is indexed in Web of Science (Science Citation Index Expanded), MEDLINE/PubMed and Scopus.\n\nAccording to the journal's own indexing page, its Journal Citation Reports impact factor was 12.4 for the 2024 JCR release, up from 11.556 in the 2022 release; third-party trackers report further increases in more recent JCR cycles, which readers should verify against Clarivate directly given how fast the metric has moved.","asOf":"2026-09-22","links":[{"label":"Theranostics home","url":"https://www.thno.org/"},{"label":"Theranostics: Index and ranking (impact factor history)","url":"https://www.thno.org/indexrank"}],"tags":["journal","open access","theranostics"],"related":[],"indications":[],"sections":[],"technologies":[],"targets":[],"drugs":[],"companies":[],"institutions":[],"pathways":[],"terms":[],"trials":[],"people":[],"bottlenecks":[],"keyPapers":[],"journals":[],"dependsOn":[],"notes":[],"publisher":"Ivyspring International Publisher","url":"https://www.thno.org/","scope":"Theranostics: molecular imaging, molecular therapeutics, image-guided therapy, biosensors, nanomedicine and translational/personalised medicine.","access":"open-access","founded":2011,"impactFactor":{"value":12.4,"year":2024,"source":"Theranostics journal, Index and ranking page (thno.org/indexrank), citing the 2024 Journal Citation Reports release"},"matchNames":["Theranostics"]},"route":"/journals/theranostics-journal/","neighbours":{}}
