Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Radical urbanization and industrialization processes are currently reshaping contemporary society. While economic growth and human development are significantly reinforced, the conspicuously increased numbers and scales of human footprints on the planet make the world increasingly susceptible to Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity (VUCA) challenges. In this context, risk management and safety engineering research has become more crucial than ever before to ensure the safety, resilience, and sustainability of the current ever-changing world. This Special Issue, entitled "Risk Management and Safety Engineering for a Sustainable Future" aims to showcase a range of scientific and novel research on risk management and safety engineering-based solutions to consolidate the pillars of sustainable development.
This Special Issue collects high-quality papers in the fields of risk management and safety engineering, including but not limited to hazard identification, analysis, assessment methods, and control measures (covering aspects of monitoring, risk prevention and control, accident management, emergency response, resilience assessment, and vulnerability management). Aiming to achieve a sustainable future, we hope to propose and optimize safety strategies from the perspective of risk management, safety engineering, and emergency management to eliminate or appropriately mitigate various risks and problems. Original research articles and reviews are welcome in this Special Issue. We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Prof. Dr. Guohua Chen
Guest Editor
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. Sustainability is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
