Aims and scope of journal

Risk Management is a peer reviewed, multi-disciplinary journal that aims to disseminate a body of research which both informs and takes forward our understanding of 'risk' and the ways in which it can be anticipated and managed. The core aim of the journal is to encourage the development and dissemination of evidence and insights around risk from a range of academic disciplines, as well as from practicing managers and professionals involved in risk management. Articles published within the journal are all blind peer-reviewed, and must make a clear contribution to theory and/or practice. Papers should also demonstrate awareness and understanding of existing debates and issues.

Specific areas of interest to Risk Management include:

  • identifying, measuring and managing risk, crises and disasters;
  • exploring and explaining risk behaviours in both organisational and societal contexts;
  • dealing with risks associated with environmental impact and change and the issue of sustainability and adaptation;
  • examining the ways in which chronic and acute forms of impacts are dealt with in risk assessments and especially considering the problems associated with extreme events;
  • developing debate around the protection and management of organizational reputation
  • examining the nature of resilience, especially around issues of risk and security in relation to critical national infrastructures and from catastrophic events.
  • identifying and developing the dynamic capabilities needed to both prevent and manage risk and resilience within organizations.
