About the Risk Sciences

Risk Sciences is an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed, open-access journal that publishes original research and industry practices on risk and uncertainty across diverse fields, including actuarial science, economics, finance, engineering, environmental science, health, and management. The journal promotes interdisciplinary collaboration and encourages the development and application of innovative analytical tools, data-driven methodologies, and theoretical frameworks for risk identification, quantification, analysis, management, and governance. Risk Sciences provides a platform for advancing research and fostering dialogue on emerging and global risks, with particular emphasis on catastrophe and climate change, cybersecurity, disruptive technologies, systemic risks, and broader economic and societal challenges.
