Submit Manuscript through OJS

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

editor@safety.science

What happens next

After submission through OJS:

  • the editorial team checks whether the manuscript fits the aims and scope of Safety.Science;
  • the submission may be sent for editorial review, peer review, revision, or open review depending on the article type;
  • authors receive editorial communication through the OJS platform;
  • revisions, reviewer responses, and decisions are tracked in the OJS workflow.

The process is designed to be constructive, transparent, and proportionate — especially for interdisciplinary and practice-based work.
