1.1 Aims & Scope
Before submitting your manuscript to Journal of Fire Sciences, please ensure you have read the Aims & Scope.
1.2 Article Types
Journal of Fire Sciences is a leading journal for the reporting of significant fundamental and applied research that brings understanding of fire chemistry and fire physics to fire safety. Its content is aimed toward the prevention and mitigation of the adverse effects of fires involving combustible materials, as well as development of new tools to better address fire safety needs. Journal of Fire Sciences covers experimental or theoretical studies of fire initiation and growth, flame retardant chemistry, fire physics relative to material behavior, fire containment, fire threat to people and the environment and fire safety engineering. Accepted article types include:
Original Manuscripts: These cover new research findings and analysis of fire science problems, they include unpublished original research or analysis of existing research on fire science topics.
Book Reviews: A review of a fire science or fire safety engineering book that is relevant to the scope of the Journal. Book reviews should provide insight and analysis on the benefits and limitations of the book. Book reviews should not be more than 2,000 words.
Review Articles: Review articles should cover a key aspect of fire science and should provide comprehensive and insightful analysis of the current body of knowledge in that particular aspect.
Forum/Discussion Articles: Articles submitted to the forum are meant to spur discussion and collaboration on a key aspect of fire science. They should be no more than 1,200 - 1,800 words and should start the beginning of a discussion that could lead to future research, or potential vetting of hypotheses fundamental to fire science.
Letter to the Editor: Letters can be opinion pieces to the Editor to speak to the fire science community about a fire science topic of interest to the author and the greater fire science community that are not suited for a Forum like discussion. Letters can also be short critical research findings or safety issues that need to be quickly communicated to the fire science community, in which case they will include data and some unpublished results that would not merit a full manuscript, but still is still of value. Letters are generally short documents of 800 - 1,200 words.
Special Issue Articles: These are original manuscripts that are specially solicited for a focused issue ona single topic of fire science. They are often run by a guest editor who will send invites to specific authors or will create an open invitation to all to submit to the special issue. Special issues are very welcome from any member of the fire science community and are submitted as proposals to the Editor-in-Chief prior to their activation on the Journal website.
