COMP Reports

COMP Reports

COMP Reports and Documents was established as a submission category in the Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics (JACMP) in 2016. These reports feature impactful professional or technical content produced by COMP members, such as the CPQR Technical Quality Control (TQC) Guidelines.  Since 2016, a full library of CPQR TQCs has been published.

All manuscripts submitted as COMP reports must be pre-approved by COMP. Upon approval, COMP will fund the $650 USD JACMP publication fee. Manuscripts on specific scientific or technical developments are not appropriate for this submission category and will not be considered. If you have work that you would like to have considered as a COMP Report, please submit your idea to Erika. Work at all stages of development will be considered (from idea to completed manuscript).

A complete list of COMP Reports is included here. General reports are listed first, followed by links to the full suite of TQCs.
