Safety.Science — Journal of Integrated Safety

Safety.Science is a peer-reviewed journal and developing scientific knowledge platform dedicated to advancing the science of safety.

The journal remains the formal scholarly route for submission, editorial assessment, peer review and publication. Around the journal, the wider Safety.Science platform is developing gradually to connect research themes, scientific questions, projects, methods, education, resources and public-interest safety knowledge.

Formal journal publications and Versions of Record are maintained through the Safety.Science journal platform.

• Psychosocial risk management in Australian FIFO accommodation villages: from documentary compliance to organisational capability
  September 8, 2026 by Jack Tooley, Adii Shtykov (Author)
  Australian fly-in, fly-out (FIFO) accommodation villages are employer-controlled environments where workers sleep, recover and socialise for weeks at a time, so their design and operation affect worker health, safety, productivity, […]
• Signals Before the Sirens: A Conceptual Synthesis of Recurring Organisational Conditions Associated with Serious Incidents
  September 5, 2026 by Mark F Taylor (Author)

What is Safety.Science?

Safety.Science remains anchored in the Journal of Integrated Safety while gradually developing a wider scientific knowledge platform around the journal.

The journal provides the formal route for scholarly publication and maintains its publication record through OJS. The wider platform connects scientific questions, research themes, projects, methods, educational resources and public-interest safety activities.

Across both layers, Safety.Science approaches safety as an integrated phenomenon involving human, technical, organisational, contextual and societal dimensions.

What we publish

Safety.Science publishes integrated analyses, case-based insights, and practical contributions that improve understanding and practice of safety across domains.

• Research articles
• Conceptual papers
• Short papers
• Case reflections and lessons learned
• Methods and tools papers
• Work-in-progress and open-review papers
• Educational and training reflections

Clarity, relevance, and insight are more important than length or formal structure.

Current thematic call 2026

Non-Negotiable Safety and Foundational Boundaries

We invite contributions that explore safety as a boundary condition for living, designing, operating, and governing together — beyond optimisation, metrics, or compliance alone.

Early contributions help define the direction of the journal.

Our role in Safety to Freedom

Safety.Science provides the safety-science contribution to the wider Safety to Freedom™ pathway.

It develops the evidence, concepts and conditions required to protect life, reduce unacceptable harm, strengthen resilience and create dependable foundations for meaningful human and societal freedom.

The pathway does not determine editorial outcomes. Safety.Science remains editorially independent.

Beyond the Journal

Safety.Science is expanding gradually beyond the journal while preserving the journal as its primary scholarly identity.

The Safety.Science journal remains the authoritative location for submissions, peer review, editorial decisions, publication metadata, issues, corrections and Versions of Record.

The wider Safety.Science platform connects research themes, projects, methods, educational resources, emerging questions and public-interest scientific activities. Content on the wider platform is not automatically a journal publication; its status is identified according to the applicable publication or project record.

One authoritative home per record: create once, maintain once, summarise and link elsewhere.

Safety.Science Preprints

Safety-related preprints and emerging scholarly work may be shared through the Safety.Science Preprints publication series within NEDION Preprints.

Preprints are moderated but are not peer reviewed unless explicitly stated otherwise. Posting does not imply acceptance by the Safety.Science journal and does not influence the journal’s editorial decision.

How to contribute

Authors can submit manuscripts through the Safety.Science OJS submission system.

The OJS platform supports manuscript submission, editorial screening, peer review, revision tracking, and editorial decisions.

If you are unsure whether your idea fits the journal, you may first send a short informal inquiry to the editor.
