Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Injury is one of the most underrecognized public health problems worldwide and is especially tragic because it is preventable. The goal for injury research is to reduce injury morbidity and improve outcomes. This is done through sound industrial and systems design engineering, developing intervention and therapeutic intervention strategies, and clinical management. Yet, diverse populations, human activities, and situations in which excessive loads occur, causing injury, warrant further elucidation. Improved protection against injury can be realized through a better understanding of the biomechanics of injury and disability.
Injury causation is the biomechanical response of the human body or the function/structure of cells/tissues to dynamic loading and the mechanisms and tolerances of the different body regions to injury. Research includes macroscopic motion analysis of human volunteers or surrogates to microscopic measures of cell and tissue function/structure complemented by computational and translational models that extend experimental findings to broad, real-world environments.
This Special Issue "Injury Biomechanics" will focus on either applied, experimental, or theoretical studies dedicated to the identification and definition of injury mechanisms, the quantification of biomechanical responses, the determination of impact tolerance levels, and the development and use of injury assessment devices and techniques for evaluating injury prevention systems. Emphasis is on expanding our knowledge of musculoskeletal biomechanics related to injury prevention and human health. Researchers can submit papers dealing with any aspect related to the biomechanics of injury.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Safety is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
