Since 2008 the journal has been available on the Internet and indexed in the RISC database which is placed on Web of Science. Since February 2nd, 2018, the journal "Medical Radiology and Radiation Safety" has been indexed in the SCOPUS abstract and citation database.
Brief electronic versions of the Journal have been publicly available since 2005 on the website of the Medical Radiology and Radiation Safety Journal: http://www.medradiol.ru. Since 2011, all issues of the journal as a whole are publicly available, and since 2016 - full-text versions of scientific articles. Since 2005, subscribers can purchase full versions of other articles of any issue only through the National Electronic Library.

The main working language of the journal is Russian, an additional language is English, which is used to write titles of articles, information about authors, annotations, key words, a list of literature.
Since 2017 the journal Medical Radiology and Radiation Safety has switched to digital identification of publications, assigning to each article the identifier of the digital object (DOI), which greatly accelerated the search for the location of the article on the Internet. In future it is planned to publish the English-language version of the journal Medical Radiology and Radiation Safety for its development. In order to obtain information about the publication activity of the journal in March 2015, a counter of readers' references to the materials posted on the site from 2005 to the present which is placed on the journal's website. During 2015 - 2016 years on average there were no more than 100-170 handlings per day.

ABSTRACT
The review of normative documents and results of work of interdepartmental advisory councils (IAS) Russian Federation on establishment of a causal relationship of diseases, disability and death of the citizens who were affected by radiation factors owing to the Chernobyl accident were presented in the article. Normative documents and the legislative base, regulating work of IAS on an establishment of a causal relationship of diseases, physical inabilities and death of the citizens, undergone to radiating influence owing to Chernobyl accident are considered. The results of the activities of the IAS if the Russian Federation for 2010-2014 are presented. On the basis of the research developed proposals to improve the interagency expert Council (MEC). The obtained results will help to unify the actions of experts, to objectify their conclusions in determining the causality of events and to reduce the level of errors in the expert practice of IAS on establishment of causal connection of diseases, disability and death of citizens exposed to radiation due to the Chernobyl disaster and other radiation accidents.
Key words: interdepartmental advisory councils (IAC), Chernobyl NPP, radiation accident, legislative base, organizational structure
