  • 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.Topics eligible for consideration by the journal include:Process safety managementProcess safety cultureIncident investigationDesign and reliability of protective systemsPlant layout, maintenance and modificationProcess alarm managementEmergency planningTransportati... of hazardous materialsOffshore oil and gas safetyEnergy safetyRelease and dispersion of toxic materialsProcess fires and explosionsDust explosionsRunaway reactionsProcess safety in emerging energy transitionInherently safer designHuman error and human factorsProcess securityProcess 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 aviationStudies 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 reliabilityMaterial characterizationProc... control and monitoringOther non-process safety topics not identified in the above list

  • Optics and Lasers in Engineering

    • ISSN: 0143-8166
    • 5 Year impact factor: 4.4
    • Impact factor: 4.2
    Optics and Lasers in Engineering aims at providing an international forum for the interchange of information on the development of optical techniques and laser technology in engineering. Manuscripts should offer clear evidence of novelty and significance. Emphasis is placed on concepts, numerical procedures, and experimental layouts used and developed in engineering environments. Experimental validation of the attained results is expected in the submissions.The scope of the journal is defined to include the following topics: – Optical metrology;– Optical methods for visualization in space and time domains;– Imaging, microscopy and adaptive optics;– Laser-based manufacturing and processing, micro‑ and nano‑fabrication;– Optics and photonics for life science, bioengineering and biomedical applications; – Hyperspectral and spectroscopic techniques;– Infrared and terahertz optical systems; – Computational imaging and inverse problems when grounded in optical models or experimental data.Papers mostly focused on the following issues are not suitable: – Parameter influence, performance analysis and optimization aspects in manufacturing;– Applications of well‑assessed optical methods without methodological innovation;– Algorithm development not linked to optical modeling and experimental systems;– Artificial intelligence or deep learning applied to image processing without a substantial optical and laser component; – Purely theoretical and numerical studies.Resubmission... of rejected papers will be rejected, unless authorized by the handling editors. In this case, authors are encouraged to submit new manuscripts significantly different from the rejected versions.
