    • Journal of Loss Prevention in the Process Industries

      • ISSN: 0950-4230
      The International Journal of Chemical and Process Plant Safety. The broad scope of the journal is process safety. Process safety is defined as the prevention and mitigation of process-related injuries and damage arising from process incidents involving fire, explosion and toxic release. Such undesired events occur in the process industries during the use, storage, manufacture, handling, and transportation of highly hazardous chemicals. Focus and EmphasisThe focus of the journal is on loss prevention as practiced in the process industries with an emphasis on chemical and process plant safety. This emphasis will be readily identified in manuscripts that make extensive reference to the process safety literature. Regardless of the nature or origin of the manuscript, there must be a clearly defined and explicitly explained original research contribution to the field of process safety.TopicsTopics eligible for consideration by the journal include:Process safety managementProcess safety cultureProcess safety risk assessmentIncident investigationDesign and reliability of protective systemsPlant layout, maintenance and modificationProcess alarm managementEmergency planningTransportati... of hazardous materialsOffshore oil and gas safetyProcess firesGas explosionsDust explosionsDispersion of toxic materialsRunaway reactionsInherently safer designHuman error/human factorsProcess securityProcess security managementProcess security risk assessmentProcess safety decision-making and economic issuesProcess safety education and trainingOther process safety topics not identified in the above listExclusionsTopics excluded from consideration by the journal include:Occupational health and safetySafety in non-process industry sectors such as construction and aviationEnvironmenta... concerns where such issues are the only or primary focus of the researchStudies in the following areas, and in which there is no explicit consideration of the process safety implications of the research:Coal mine safetyFundamental combustion studiesFundamental corrosion studiesGeneral system reliabilityMaintenan... schedule optimizationMaterial characterizationProc... control and monitoringOther non-process safety topics not identified in the above list

    • Materials Characterization

      • ISSN: 1044-5803
      Materials Characterization features original articles and state-of-the-art reviews on theoretical and practical aspects of the structure and behaviour of materials. The Journal focuses on all characterization techniques, including all forms of microscopy (light, electron, acoustic, etc.,) and analysis (especially microanalysis and surface analytical techniques), and must include microstructural imaging. Developments in both this wide range of techniques and their application to the quantification of the microstructure of materials are essential facets of the Journal. While X-ray, spectroscopic, and mechanical behaviour measurements are all important aspects of characterization, they are not sufficient on their own to satisfy the scope of the journal. The Journal provides the Materials Scientist/Engineer with up-to-date information on many types of materials with an underlying theme of explaining the behavior of materials from a microstructural standpoint using novel and established characterization approaches. Materials covered by the journal include:1. Metals & Alloys2. Ceramics3. Biomedical materials (only metal or ceramic based)4. Composites (only metal or ceramic based)5. Nanomaterials with structural characterization as the focus of the workPlease note that not all topics or materials fall within the scope of Materials Characterization. Submissions focused on the topics listed below will not be considered for publication, potential alternative journals are indicated in brackets: i) layered bulk materials are included, but thin films are not (Thin Solid Films; Materials Science in Semiconductor Processing) ii) polymers or polymer composites (Elsevier polymer titles; Composites structures) iii) cementitious materials (Cement, Cement and Concrete Composites) iv) mechanical, electrical or other property measurements without any accompanying microstructural characterization (depending on the focus, please consider submitting to Corrosion Science; Wear; Materials Science & Engineering B; Materials & Design)v) computation, theory or analysis papers without an accompanying microstructural characterization component (Computational Materials Science; Materials Science & Engineering A; Materials Science & Engineering B; Materials Science & Engineering C)
