“International Journal for Fire Science and Technology”は、1981 年の創刊以来、東京理科大学火災科学研究所が独自に発行している“ 火災”分野を対象とした審査付き研究論文集です。これまで内外の火災科学に関する研究成果を世界の多くの研究機関、大学等に向けて配信してきました。

現在は、J-STAGEから電子ジャーナルとしても公開されています。電子ジャーナル公開以降、世界各国からのアクセス数も常に増加傾向にあり、認知度も増しております。

これまで取り組んできた様々なプログラムでの活動記録や研究成果の配信に活用し、本学を火災科学分野の研究教育に関する国際的な情報発信機関とする活動の軸となります。

燃焼工学（燃焼特性、不燃化）、火災物理・化学、伝熱工学、流体力学、火災制御（燃焼抑制、煙制御）、リスク工学、火災性状（火炎挙動、熱気流、区画火災）、火災時の人間挙動、火災時の構造架構・部材の挙動、火災安全設計、都市火災等

AIMS AND SCOPE

International Journal for Fire Science and Technology is a global academic journal specializing in fire published by Center for Fire Safety and Technology, Tokyo University of Science since 1981. Through this journal, the center has distributed fire-associated information to research institutions and universities worldwide. The journal has been issued quarterly since 2004 and became available online in 2007 via J-STAGE. The online journal has brought more visitors to the center’s website and gained recognition of the center. By reporting our activities and research outcomes thorough the journal, TUS seeks to function as the global center of fire science education and research.

Contributions will be welcome on combustion engineering , fire physics and chemistry, heat transfer engineering, fluid dynamics, smoke control, risk engineering, fire characteristics (flame behavior, thermal current, and compartment fire), fire suppression,, human behavior in fire, structural fire resistance, behavior of structural frame and components in fire, fire safety design, and urban fire among others.

Technical Report:	Report of research work, fact-finding survey, case study and statistical data etc. related to fire science. Technical Report should include technically valuable information and have clear conclusion. Technical Report is peer-reviewed.
Technical/Research Note:	Article that presents technical or research achievement or knowledge related to fire science. Technical/Research Note is not peer-reviewed.

MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION
Language: All manuscripts must be written in English.
General: Manuscripts must be prepared in WORD (.doc or .docx). The corresponding author identified in the application form and his/her E-mail address will appear on the top page of each article in the journal.
Abstracts: An abstract not exceeding 200 words and five or less keywords should accompany the manuscript.
Text: Follow the order when preparing manuscripts: title, authors, affiliations, abstract, keywords, main text (including figures and tables), acknowledgements, appendix, and references.
Mathematical expressions: Equation numbers should appear in parentheses on the right-hand side of the equation and should be referred to within the text.
References: The literature references should be brought together at the end of article, and numbered in the order of their appearance. In the text, references should be mentioned in square and superior brackets [ ]. The list of references must be given in the following style:
1. Author name(s), Paper title, Journal name, Volume and number, Page, Year
2. Author name(s), Book title, Publisher, City, Page, Year
3. Editor name(s), ed., Book title, Publisher, City, Page, Year
e.g. C. Brown, M. P. Green, and S. Robinson, Study on Fire, Fire Science and Technology, Vol. 30, No. 1, 1-12, 2011
Abbreviations for the title of journals should be cited according to Chemical Abstracts Service Index: http://www.cas.org/products/print/cassipr/index.html
Illustrations: Photographs, charts and diagrams are all to be referred to as “Figure(s)” and should be numbered with consecutive Arabic numbers in the order to which they are referred. They should be included in the text where they are mentioned and have descriptive captions.
Line drawings: All lettering, graph lines and points on graphs should be sufficiently large and bold to permit reproduction when the diagram has been reduced to a size suitable for inclusion in the journal.
Photographs: Original photographs must be supplied as they are to be reproduced in black and white.
Tables: Tables should be included in the text where they are referred. Tables should be numbered consecutively and given a suitable caption. Footnotes to tables should appear below the table and be referred to by superscript lowercase letters.
Units: The SI system should be used for all scientific and laboratory data; if, in certain instances, it is necessary to quote other units, these should be added in parentheses. Temperatures should be given in degrees Celsius.
