Journal of Safety Research is an interdisciplinary publication that provides for the exchange of ideas and scientific evidence capturing studies through research in all areas of safety and health, including traffic, workplace, home, and community. This forum invites research using rigorous methodologies, encourages translational research, and engages the global scientific community through various partnerships (e.g., this outreach includes highlighting some of the latest findings from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention).

Process Safety and Environmental Protection aims to be the principal international journal for publication of high quality, original papers in the branches of engineering concerned with the safety of industrial processes and the protection of the environment.

Papers showing how research results can be used in process engineering design, and accounts of experimental or theoretical research work bringing new perspectives to established principles, highlighting unsolved problems or indicating directions for future research, are particularly welcome. Contributions that deal with new developments in safety or environmental aspects of plant or processes and that can be given quantitative expression are encouraged. (source)

Safety Science serves as an international medium for research in the science and technology of human safety. It extends from safety of people at work to other spheres, such as transport, leisure and home, as well as every other field of man is hazardous activities.

Safety Science is multidisciplinary. Its contributors and its audience range from psychologists to chemical engineers. The journal covers the physics and engineering of safety; its social, policy and organisational aspects; the management of risks; the effectiveness of control techniques for safety; standardization, legislation, inspection, insurance, costing aspects, human behaviour and safety and the like.

Quality and Reliability Engineering International is a journal devoted to practical engineering aspects of quality and reliability. A refereed bimonthly technical journal, it covers the development and practical application of existing theoretical methods, research and industrial practices. Articles in the journal will be concerned with case studies, tutorial-type reviews and also with applications of new or well-known theory to the solution of actual quality and reliability problems in engineering.
Papers describing the use of mathematical and statistical tools to solve real life industrial problems are encouraged, provided that the emphasis is placed on practical applications and demonstrated case studies. (source)

Reliability Engineering and System Safety is an international journal devoted to the development and application of methods for the enhancement of the safety and reliability of complex technological systems, like nuclear power plants, chemical plants, hazardous waste facilities, space systems, offshore and maritime systems, transportation systems, constructed infrastructure and manufacturing plants. The journal normally publishes only articles that involve the analysis of substantive problems related to the reliability of complex systems or present techniques and/or theoretical results that have a discernable relationship to the solution of such problems. An important aim is to achieve a balance between academic material and practical applications. (source)

Professional Reading with Journals

Here’s a listing of technical journals with a little information about each one.

Please join or sign in to view the journal information.

To stay up technically sharp make it a habit to regularly read technical articles. There are a wealth of journals that offer peer reviewed theoretical and practical, informative articles based on the research, science, experiments, and experience of your peers.

You can find these journals in your favorite engineering library or by directly subscribing to a journal. Some journals also have limited access to articles or are a benefit of a professional society membership.

What you will find with each entry

I’m pulling information from the SCImago Journal & Country Rank service that pulls data from Scopus®. For the journals I searched for the subject area of engineering and subject category of Safety, Risk, Reliability and Quality. I than down selected the journal listing to those of most interest to reliability engineering professionals.

The embedded graphic shows:

SJR or the SCImago Journal Rank indicator, which show the visibility of journals contained in the Scopus® database. Similar to Google PageRank™.

Cites per doc is the average number of citations per document in a 3 year period.

Total cites is the total number of citations received in the selected year by a journal to the documents published in the three previous years.
