About the journal
Aims and scope of journal
The aim of Risk Management is to encourage discussion and debate on issues that arise from conventional and emerging perspectives on risk, crisis management and resilience. Risk Management publishes papers that address the range of traditional issues within risk and crisis management but also encourages multi-disciplinary perspectives on the ways in which these approaches are evolving and can be refined, refreshed and reinterpreted in light of contemporary challenges. The Journal actively seeks to publish papers that move beyond the narrow disciplinary-bounded, engineering and financial frameworks of risk, and that reflect the inter-disciplinary, boundary-less and inter-connected nature of the processes around risk, crisis and disaster.
The scope of the journal ensures that these debates are communicated to as wide an audience as possible, spanning both the academic and practice communities. Papers should be practice-relevant and should make a clear contribution to existing knowledge and theory.
Risk Management encourages submissions that address the following areas of risk, crisis management and resilience:
- The processes and problems associated with identifying, measuring and managing risk, crises and disasters
- The role of expertise in shaping the ‘construction’ of risk debates
- Risk perception and risk acceptability
- Explorations and explanations of risk behaviours in organizational, governmental, and societal contexts
- The risks associated with environmental impact and change and issues of sustainability, adaptation and justice within environmental debates
- The ways in which chronic and acute forms of impacts are dealt with in risk assessments, particularly in extreme events
- The nature of resilience, especially in relation to security, critical national infrastructures and catastrophic events
- The protection and management of organizational reputation
- The development of dynamic capabilities needed to prevent and manage risk and resilience within organizations.

Authors whose first language is not English should ensure that their final draft is carefully checked by a competent native speaker of English for accuracy.
Text should be keyed in as simply as possible, without bold or centring (apart from headings).
Italic type should be used for foreign words/phrases not yet ‘naturalized’ into English, and (sparingly) for emphasis.
After the abstract, the first section of the article should be headed 'Introduction'. Headings should be in bold text. Sub-headings should be italicized.
Paragraphs should have a line space between them; the first line should not be indented.
’single ’ not ’double’ should be used for quote marks.
Abstract
An abstract of 100-150 words, should accompany the manuscript.
Keywords
Up to six ‘keywords’ should be included. Please make these brief and clear as they will be used in online searches.
References in the text
The whole citation should follow the Harvard style, enclosed within parentheses (author surname, year) if not a natural part of the surrounding sentence; the year should be enclosed within parentheses if the names do form a natural part of the surrounding sentence. Citations of works by two authors should have ‘and’ (not an ampersand) between the names. Citations of works by three or more authors should have the first author followed by et al in italics with no trailing stop.
Publications by the same author(s) in the same year should be identified with a, b, c (e.g. 2008a, 2008b) closed up to the year.
Personal communications should be listed as such where they are cited in the text, and not listed in the references.
Example:
Since Paterson (1983) has shown that… This is in results attained later (Kramer, 1984). Results have been reported (Don Graham, 1989, personal communication).
Articles not yet published should show ‘forthcoming’ in place of the year (in both the reference and the citation). ‘In press’ should be used in place of the volume, issue and page range details.
Example:
Sharp Parker, A.M. (forthcoming) Cyberterrorism: An examination of the preparedness of the North Carolina local law enforcement. Security Journal, in press.
