Safety science new scope

Safety Science serves as an international medium for research in the science of human, technological, organizational and societal safety. It extends to the safety of all fields of human activity. Relevant topics range from human behavior at work to assessment and management of safety in organizations to economic and legal concerns in safety and health. Safety Science is multidisciplinary. The expertise of its contributors and its audience range from social science to engineering, natural sciences, and medicine. Papers addressing the interfaces between technology, people and organizations are especially welcome. Safety Science will enable academic researchers, practitioners and decision-makers in companies, government agencies and international bodies to learn about the latest evidence and trends in the field. The journal focuses primarily on original research papers across its whole scope, but also welcomes state-of-the-art review papers, discussion papers on current topics, letters to the Editor, and first-hand case histories on accidents and disasters of special significance.
