We calculate magnetic dipole transition amplitudes in $s-s$ and $s-d$ transitions of Rb, Cs, Ba${}^{+}$, Fr, Ra${}^{+}$, Yb${}^{+}$, Ac${}^{2+}$ and Th${}^{3+}$. These transitions were used or considered to be used for parity-nonconservation (PNC) measurements. We also calculate the magnetic $g$-factor anomalies for a selection of states, along with electric quadrupole transition amplitudes for $s-d$ transitions in these systems.
