Journal of Instrumentation (JINST) covers major areas related to concepts and instrumentation in detector physics, accelerator science and associated experimental methods and techniques, theory, modelling and simulations. The main subject areas include.

Accelerators: concepts, modelling, simulations and sources
Instrumentation and hardware for accelerators: particles, synchrotron radiation, neutrons
Detector physics: concepts, processes, methods, modelling and simulations
Detectors, apparatus and methods for particle, astroparticle, nuclear, atomic, and molecular physics
Instrumentation and methods for plasma research
Methods and apparatus for astronomy and astrophysics
Detectors, methods and apparatus for biomedical applications, life sciences and material research
Instrumentation and techniques for medical imaging, diagnostics and therapy
Instrumentation and techniques for dosimetry, monitoring and radiation damage
Detectors, instrumentation and methods for non-destructive tests (NDT)
Detector readout concepts, electronics and data acquisition methods
Algorithms, software and data reduction methods
Materials and associated technologies, etc.
Engineering and technical issues
JINST also includes a section dedicated to technical reports and instrumentation theses.
