Research Requirement
The research manuscript may now be submitted to the Journal of
Medical imaging and Radiation Oncology (JMIRO), Clinical
Oncology, Journal of Radiation Oncology Biology Physics or
Practical Oncology, in which case,
acceptance to the peer-review process will satisfy

for publication in the above-named journal, then this will
automatically satisfy the research requirement.
