Scientists at Germany's Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS) publish in the Journal of Radiological Protection a paper describing "Spotlight on EMF Research", the office's regular service for structured expert assessments of the EMF-and-health literature. The paper walks through the rationale, workflow and editorial process, and situates the service within what the authors call "an increasingly complex information landscape".

"In the area of research on electromagnetic fields (EMF) and health, decision makers and practitioners face an increasingly complex information landscape, characterised by high publication volumes, heterogeneous methods and the occasional spread of oversimplified claims."

— Leymann et al.

""Spotlight on EMF Research", offered by the German Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS), wants to support the EMF-interested community by providing regular, structured assessments of selected scientific publications."

— Leymann et al.

"Spotlight on EMF Research offers concise summaries and critical commentaries, brief Literature Suggestions, comprehensive literature lists, and a quarterly newsletter aimed at regulators, advisory bodies, scientists, and other expert users."

— Leymann et al.
