The Journal of System Safety (JSS) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal published by the International System Safety Society three times per year. The journal was established in 1965 as Hazard Prevention (ISSN 0743-8826) and obtained its current name in 1999. JSS is considered one of the important[1] journals in the field of reliability and safety and is one of the oldest in continuous publication.

The journal seeks to advance the discipline of system safety across a wide range of application domains, including aerospace, automotive, nuclear power, and military applications. Areas of study comprising the discipline of system safety and within the scope of JSS include:

* Autonomous system safety
* Functional Safety
* Hazard Recognition/Risk Management
* Human Factors/Ergonomics
* Process Safety
* Product Safety
* Quantitative Risk Assessment
* Resilience Engineering
* Risk Analysis
* Safety of Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning
* Software Safety
* System-Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA)

The Technical Editor of the journal is Dr. Charles Muniak. In 2022 the journal began transitioning to a gold open access publishing model with zero article processing charges (APC).

## Abstracting and Indexing

Despite a long print publication history, JSS was not indexed from 1965 to 2022. As of 2022, the journal is abstracted and indexed in Dimensions and Google Scholar[2] among others.[3] Despite the previous lack of formal indexing, JSS has been recognized as an important publication in the field of system safety[1][4][5][6][7][8].

## Notable Works

Journal of System Safety has published many papers on safety case methodology, notably including a highly cited paper[9] by MIT professor Nancy Leveson that was highly critical of safety cases. This paper was produced largely in response to the BP Deepwater Horizon incident, and was cited as part of the Department of the Interior final report[10] on the incident. The paper was also later considered in the CSB investigation of the 2012 Chevron Richmond refinery fire[11].

Due to its early roots in the field of military aviation, JSS has influenced several military standards and handbooks, with various JSS articles being cited by:

* United States Air Force System Safety Handbook[12]
* U.S. Air Force Industrial Safety Accident Prevention Handbook[13]
* NASA System Safety Handbook[14]
* FAA System Safety Handbook[15]
* DoD Joint Software Systems Safety Engineering Handbook[16]
* NATO AOP-52 Guidance on the Software Design and Assessment of Munition-Related Computing Systems[17].
