LONDON: 17 June, 2024 – The Journal of Catastrophe Risk and Resilience (JCRR) is inviting speakers and delegates who attended this year’s TC Risk Symposium 2024 to submit papers for its online diamond open-access interdisciplinary peer-reviewed research journal.
This unique online platform allows the open and transparent exchange of knowledge and ideas, providing a forum for experts in both academia and industry to publish the methods and results of their research.
Free both to publish and read, JCRR is helping establish a clear and open path for industry to have its own voice in the field of natural hazards, which in turn will enable society to address the global challenges it is facing in response to disasters.
JCRR publishes a range of short and long-form papers, which include:
Research Articles: Traditional, long-form academic articles presenting a novel idea with significant results, validating the methods, and contextualising results in the wider literature. Research Notes: Short-form summary articles of original research, with lower requirement for novelty and contextualisation. Reviews: A high-impact overview of a subject within the journal scope, providing a broader perspective with wide appeal. Comments: Perspectives designed to provoke discussion and set a wider research agenda.
To be a part of this community, delegates and speakers are being invited to submit papers based on the symposium’s presentations or inspired by delegates' own work or aspirations. Following editorial peer-review, papers will be published on the journal’s website and compiled in a special digital issue of the JCRR newsletter.
As a diamond open-access journal, all submission entries are free of charge. Copyright also belongs to the authors, and not the Journal.
The deadline for submissions is Monday 5th August 2024.
All submissions will be required to undergo the editorial review process, details of which can be found here: https://journalofcrr.com/about-us/
Thank you to the organisers of the TC Risk Symposium - Grantham Institute and Imperial College London - for collaborating with JCRR to open this opportunity to delegates and speakers.
