The SCSC publishes a range of documents:
The club publishes its newsletter Safety Systems three times a year in February, June and October. The newsletter is distributed to paid-up members and can be made available in electronic form for inclusion on corporate members' intranet sites.
The proceedings of the annual symposium, held each February since 1993, are published in book form. Since 2013 copies can be purchased from Amazon.
The club publishes the Safety-critical Systems eJournal (ISSN 2754-1118) containing high-quality, peer-reviewed articles on the subject of systems safety.
If you are interested in being an author or a reviewer please see the Call for Papers.
All publications are available to download free by current SCSC members (please log in first), recent books are available as 'print on demand' from Amazon at reasonable cost.
Welcome to the second issue of the third volume of the Safety-Critical Systems eJournal, published by the Safety-Critical Systems Club (SCSC) with Publication Number SCSC-196.
Last year, a correspondent wrote saying of this journal, “If you can get through two years, you're doing OK. Three years and you're ‘established’”. This is the final issue of that third year, so I hope that we are now indeed established. I would like to get to the point where there is always a (small) number of papers in the pipeline, so that the finished ones can get published in the next issue, and the others can be reworked with less time pressure than at present. I will be posting a call for new papers on LinkedIn, as well as writing directly to some potential authors.
We also need additional reviewers to expand our pool of talent, not only subject matter experts, but those with broad experience across many aspects of safety engineering and assurance. If you wish to take part, please register your interest on the web-site at: https://scsc.uk/journal/index.php/scsj/user/register. I intend to contact the current set of reviewers to ensure both that their registered e-mail address and list of specialist topics are still valid.
This issue contains three papers (one of which was postponed from the previous issue):
Please also support the Club’s Working Groups, which, inter alia, share industry best practice, develop guidance documents, and influence the development of standards. If you would like to find out more about these groups, please go to https://scsc.uk/g, which includes contact details.
