About the journal
|
The Journal of Fire Sciences is the leading journal reporting new developments in this technology. Each bimonthly issue publishes peer-reviewed articles by recognized specialists in this technology from around the world. The in-depth articles provide new science-based information useful in materials research and product development.
Each Issue covers:
¡¤ New developments in the measurement of the fire performance of materials and products
¡¤ Advances in fire chemistry and physics, fire retardance technology, analysis of combustion products, smoke toxicology and corrosivity
¡¤ Engineering aspects of fire safety including fire modeling and assessment of hazard and risk
¡¤ Advances in standards and performance based codes
In materials R&D, fire safety is often a major concern. Advances have been made in recent years but there are still important goals to achieve in the fire safety of a wide range of materials that pose fire risk. These include materials used in products and structures ranging from apparel and interior furnishings to commercial aircraft and public buildings.
Information on the fire behavior and fire retardance of all commercially important flammable materials are covered including plastics, composites, coatings, textiles, and natural materials such as cellulose and fibers. All areas of the fire science of materials are covered including: ¡¤ Fire chemistry and physics ¡¤ Measurement of fire properties ¡¤ Smoke toxicology and corrosivity ¡¤ Fire modeling ¡¤ Test methods ¡¤ Combustion products ¡¤ Fire retardance chemistry ¡¤ Hazard and risk assessment ¡¤ Standards, codes and regulations

Instructions to Authors
Submitting Papers to the Journal:
1. Three double-spaced hard copies of the manuscript should be submitted to:
Dr. Gordon E. Hartzell,
Editor, Journal of Fire Sciences,
3318 Litchfield Dr., San Antonio,
TX 78230-4006, USA.
Revised manuscripts should also be resubmitted to the Editor as hard copies, but only in duplicate. Upon notification of acceptance, the corresponding author will be requested to furnish an electronic version of the final manuscript as a PDF of MS Word file attached to an email message sent to JFSinSAT@aol.com.
2. Centred title should be brief, followed by centred name, affiliation, address, country, and postal code (zip) of author(s). Indicate to whom correspondence and proofs should be sent, including a telephone number, fax number and e-mail address.
3. Include a 100-word abstract.
4. Include a list of key words and author biographies
5. A list of five potential reviewers should be submitted to the Editor at the time of manuscript submission [optional].
6. ILLUSTRATIONS
-Computer generated graphics. Any art that is sent electronically should be in .tif files, in 300 dpi resolution, for superior reproduction. Colour original should be saved as greyscale images.
-Line Drawings. Originals should always be submitted. Wherever possible, graphs should be boxed in, and scale divisions should be marked on the inside of the boxes. Grids should not be shown. Insofar as possible, explanations should be placed in the legend. Original drawings should not be larger than 20x25 cm (8x10 in); if this is impossible, they must be accompanied by two sets of small photoprints. Measurements should be indicated in SI units.
-Lettering should be planned for 50% reduction; text must be readable after reduction.
-Photographs. Photographs should be supplied as glossy prints, and wherever possible, of the same size as they are to appear in the journal. Illustrations should be referred to as Figure 1, Figure 2, etc. The name(s) of the author(s) should be written on all illustrations, as should the Figure number. The indication 'Top' must be given, if necessary. Besides the original illustrations, one duplicate set must accompany each copy of the manuscript; these copies may be photoprints, if clear and legible.
-Text must be readable after reduction.
7. JOURNAL AND BOOK REFERENCES should be identified in the text using the Vancouver system [numbered notes throughout text, numbered list at end of article].
Literature references should be listed by number at the end of manuscript as reference number, Author(s), date, 'title of article,' title of publication, volume, page, publisher, place of publication, etc. Examples:
1. Name 1, A.A. and Name 2, B.B. (year of publication). A Method of Damage Detection for Rotating Systems, Journal Name, 107(3): 275-281.
Name, C.C. (year of publication). Title of Chapter, Book Name, Edition (if not first), page, publisher, place etc.
8. FIGURE, TABLE, EQUATION: spelled out in text, capitalized. Figure 1 Table 1 Equation (9)
9. TABLES. Number consecutively and type on a numbered, separate page.
Please use arabic numerals and supply a heading. Column headings should be explanatory and carry units (see example). Do not include vertical rules.
10. UNITS & ABBREVIATIONS. SI units should be used.
11. SYMBOLS. A list of symbols used and their meanings should be included if a
large number of symbols appears in the text.
12. PROOFREADING AND OFFPRINTS. Authors will receive page proofs, which
they should correct and return as soon as possible. An offprint order form for purchase of additional offprints will be provided. No free offprints can be provided; the correspondence author will receive one free copy of the journal for each contributor.
13. COPYRIGHT INFORMATION. All original journal articles are copyrighted in
the name of the publisher. All original articles accepted for publication must be accompanied by a signed copyright transfer agreement available from the journal editor or from the publisher's website. Previously copyrighted material may be published with the written permission of the copyright holder.
14. HEADINGS. Your article should be structured into sections. Normally two headings are used as follows:
Main Subhead: DESIGN OF A MICROWAVE INSTALLATION [all capital letters, centred]
Secondary Subhead: Principal of the Design Method [capitalize first letter of main words, left justified]
15. EQUATIONS. Number equations with arabic numbers enclosed in parentheses at the right-hand margin. Type superscripts and subscripts clearly above or below
the baseline, or mark them with a caret. Be sure that all symbols, letters, and numbers are distinguishable (e.g., 0 for zero, one or lowercase 'el', 'vee' or Greek nu).
16. PERMISSIONS. The author is responsible for obtaining releases from other publishers for Sage Publications to publish material copyrighted by someone else.
GENERAL
Neither Journal of Fire Sciences, nor the editorial board or the publisher is responsible for the views expressed by individual contributors in articles published in the Journal.
