A UNIQUE NEW JOURNAL ON RISK RESEARCH
The Journal of Risk Research will stimulate
intellectual debate on risk, addressing the growing concern about the role
of risk in modern society among industry officials, researchers, regulators
and academics and increasing exchanges among those engaged in risk analysis.
The journal will address all areas of risk analysis, risk perception, risk
communication and management, with an emphasis on social, health and
environmental issues.
(As yet there is no suitable refereed journal
dedicated to publishing a variety of learned papers in this subject
area.)
Until now...
New for 1998, E & FN SPON, a division of Thomson
Science and Professional are launching the Journal of Risk Research, the
official journal of the Society for Risk Analysis-Europe (SRA-E). This new
and exciting quarterly refereed journal will be available both in print and
on-line via the internet..
The Journal of Risk Research
On-line...
Thomson Science and Professional, providers
of advanced electronic journal services, bring you the Journal of Risk
Research on-line.
Viewed using Adobe Acrobat, a print and Internet
subscription means that the journal can be networked within the confines
of your institution. Should you need to check references quickly, the service
utilises hypertext links which enable the user to move freely between figures,
tables and references. In addition, the electronic version will be available
up to one month before its print counterpart.
The Journal of Risk Research will provide
you with:
-
a high quality, academic forum in order to advance
risk research as a discipline
-
an appropriate vehicle for development and discussion
of theory, research and practise in risk research
-
a means of recording and circulating information
concerning research work and related activities in risk research
-
extensive peer-reviewed articles so you can be
sure that all the papers are of the highest standard
The journal will serve the growing diversity of
the risk community, addressing issues concerns outside the current focus
of the North American literature, providing the reader with a variety of
interesting research results and experiences. The journal will cover research
areas of interest to members of SRA-Europe and Japan, as well as areas that
have been largely neglected by several of the mainstream journals, including
engineering and social/policy sciences.
The journal will consist of: letters to the Editor
and viewpoints, theoretical and empirical research articles with occasional
commentaries, research notes, book reviews, news of upcoming risk conferences
and SRA membership news.
The journal will publish research papers in the
areas of behavioural, engineering, physical and social sciences, and papers
related to the decision making and policy issues in all
disciplines.
