   Objectives

The goal of IJRS is to provide an international forum for information exchange in the development and application of non-deterministic methods and practices for the enhancement of product and process reliability and safety. It also aims to help engineers, applied scientists, educators and policy makers to contribute, disseminate information and learn from each other's work in the area of reliability and safety.

   Readership

Professionals, academics, researchers and managers of all disciplines in the area of reliability and safety.

   Contents

IJRS publishes original and review papers, technical reports, case studies, conference reports, management reports, book reviews, notes, commentaries and news. Contribution may be by submission or invitation. Suggestions for special issues and publications are welcome.

   Subject Coverage

• Reliability assessment methods
• Uncertainty quantification and propagation using probabilistic and non-probabilistic methods
• Engineering decisions under uncertainty
• Probabilistic and non-probabilistic safety assessment
• Reliability and safety relationship
• Engineering design for safety and reliability
• Reliability-based condition assessment
• Reliability-based design optimisation
• Robust design
• Progressive reliability
• System reliability
• Random fields
• Stochastic finite elements
• Other relevant topics

   Specific Notes for Authors

Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. (N.B. Conference papers may only be submitted if the paper was not originally copyrighted and if it has been completely re-written).

All papers are refereed through a double blind process. A guide for authors, sample copies and other relevant information for submitting papers are available on the Submission of Papers web-page.

To submit a paper, please go to Submissions of Papers

AUTHORS MUST SUBMIT THEIR PAPERS THROUGH THE ON LINE SUBMISSION SYSTEM, OTHERWISE THEIR PAPERS WOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED FOR PUBLICATION

All papers must be submitted online. If you experience any problems submitting your paper online, please contact submissions@inderscience.com, describing the exact problem you experience. Please include in your email the title of the Journal.
