NTSB Publishes Its First Transportation Safety Journal
Washington, D.C. - The National Transportation Safety Board has published its first issue of the Journal of Accident Investigation. This is a biannual publication to promote transportation safety through science, and is affiliated with the NTSB Academy in Ashburn, Virginia.
The Safety Board's objective for the Journal is to provide the public an exchange of ideas and information developed through NTSB's accident investigations in all modes of transportation. It will contain published research and technical articles on accident investigations that may be of interest to professionals in safety, accident investigation, engineering and the behavioral sciences.
The Journal will also include short reports of major developments, news, events, research efforts, and announcements of upcoming courses, forums, symposiums and public hearings conducted by NTSB.
