About the journal
|
Fire Technology is published in conjunction with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) whose mission is protecting people, their property, and the environment from the effects of fire and related hazards through education, codes and standards, research, and technical advisory services.
Fire Technology is the foremost-refereed journal in its field, publishing rigorous scientific research dealing with the full range of actual, possible, and potential fire hazards facing humans and the environment today. The audience of readers and contributors comes from the entire international fire safety science and engineering community, both inside and outside of academia, including fire protection professionals, applied scientists, engineers and other design professionals, and other technically oriented fire safety practitioners.
An important aim of Fire Technology is the encouragement of interdisciplinary communication of significant technical developments in fire protection and subjects of scientific interest to the fire protection community. It is a cross-disciplinary journal, and the editors encourage manuscripts addressing substantive issues from the perspectives of such fields as physics, chemistry, engineering, management science, ergonomics, and social and psychological aspects of fire risk.
Fire Technology covers the entire domain of fire safety science and engineering problems relevant in industrial, operational, cultural, and environmental applications, including materials testing, fire modeling, detection and suppression, performance standards, human behavior, and fire risk analysis. It is devoted to the communication of significant technical developments in fire protection and subjects of scientific interest to the fire protection community such as data, experimental results, conclusions, evidence, and similar forms of advancement of knowledge in all technical aspects of fire protection that focus on fire safety science, fire protection engineering, fire research, fire risk analysis, fire investigation, municipal fire protection, wildland fires, loss statistics, and related subjects. Fire Technology publishes original contributions, both theoretical and empirical, that contribute to the solution of problems in fire safety and related fields. Material submitted for publication in Fire Technology is subject to a peer review process. Decisions on manuscripts will be based on validity, usefulness, and presentation. An eminent international editorial board ensures the high quality of accepted scientific articles. Main attributes of accepted contributions are originality, novelty, timeliness, and clarity of presentation. Review or survey articles are welcome and issues of Fire Technology may also feature brief technical notes, viewpoints, descriptions of current research activities, book reviews, software reviews, technical news, meeting notices, and letters to the editor. Annually, the best paper appearing in Fire Technology receives the Harry C. Bigglestone Award for Excellence in Communication of Fire Protection Concepts. This award includes a USD 1000 cash prize from the National Fire Protection Research Foundation.
With thousands of subscribers worldwide, Fire Technology is a unique agent for the dissemination of scholarly work in fire safety science.

Instructions to Authors
Authors are invited to submit high quality original work which has not appeared (nor is under consideration) in other journals, transactions, or books.
Submission
1. Send five copies of the manuscript to the Coordinating Editor at the following address:
Linda Singer
Kluwer Academic Publishers
101 Philip Drive
Assinippi Park
Norwell, MA 02061 U.S.A.
Linda.Singer@wkap.com
The copies should be typed, double-spaced on one side of 8.5 x 11 inch sheets (22 x 29 cm). Typeset, laser printed, typewritten, or good quality copies are acceptable provided that they are sharp, clean, and of good contrast. A separate sheet of original camera ready illustrations should accompany the manuscript.
2. In the case of previously published material, the author is responsible for obtaining the necessary copyright releases. In all cases, the author must obtain all necessary institution and/or government clearances prior to submission. Revisions of material published previously in limited distribution workshop, symposium, and conference proceedings will be considered, provided that the previous publication is identified at the time of submission. The author is responsible for obtaining written permission to reproduce any material that has appeared in another publication.
3. The copyright of all papers published in the Journal will be vested in the publisher. The transfer of copyright agreement must be executed and signed by the author (or the author鈥榮 employer, if appropriate) before publication.
4. A cover letter should accompany each submission indicating the name, address, e-mail address and telephone number of the author to whom all correspondence is to be sent.
5. All submissions will be reviewed by anonymous referees prior to acceptance.
6. Quick publication decisions can be achieved if manuscripts are prepared according to the following instructions.
Manuscripts
1. Manuscripts should be limited to fifty pages of text with no more than fifteen pages of artwork.
2. Each manuscript should be complete with a 100 to 250 word abstract and 5-10 key words which will be printed at the beginning of the paper.
3. The author affiliation and complete mailing address should be listed at the beginning of the manuscript. Acknowledgment of support, if appropriate should be provided in a separate section at the end of the manuscript.
4. The use of footnotes is strongly discouraged; the material should be included in parenthetical material in the text wherever possible.
5. References should be numbered and listed in the order of citation in a separate section at the end of the paper, with citations by numbers in square brackets (e.g., [1], [2], etc.).
o Style for papers: Author (initials and surname), "Paper Title," Journal Title, volume number, date, page numbers. For example: J. Fox, G. Surace, and P.A. Thomas, "A Self-Testing 2-um CMOS Chip Set for FFT Applications," IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits, vol. SC-22, 1987, pp. 15-19.
o Style for books: Author, Book Title, location, publisher, date, chapter or page numbers (if desired). For example: P.M. Kogge, The Architecture of Pipelined Computers, New York: McGraw-Hill Book Co., 1981.
Illustrations
1. Original illustrations should be laser printer output or India ink on paper. Original illustrations should be submitted on separate sheets of paper following the text. When illustrations are shown within the text, an additional separate set of original art must be provided. Illustrations should be sharp, clean and of high contrast on 8.5 by 11 inch (22 x 29 cm) or smaller sheets.
2. Number all artwork on the back or bottom. Indicate the preferred orientation.
3. Photographs should be black and white glossy prints.
4. Graphs should show only the coordinate axes with tick marks (or at most a few gridlines.) Lettering and lines should be large enough to permit significant reduction.
Proofing
Page proofs will be sent to the first named author for proofing. The proofread copy should be returned to the publisher within 72 hours.
