Talk:SafetyLit

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

SafetyLit is a Citation index -- afree service supported by the World Health Organization and by several US state and federal organizations. It contains no advertising. It is a service similar to PubMed (also free) and PsycINFO (a fee-based service). While PubMed has a bio-medicine focus and PsycINFO a behavioral focus, SafetyLit is multidisciplinary but selects articles of the many disciplines that are relevant to the issues of injury prevention and safety promotion. I suggest that including PsycINFO and the ISI Web of Science -- both commercial ventures -- makes the inclusion of SafetyLit appropriate by comparison.

I have noticed that while Wikipedia contains many in-depth articles on other disciplines, there are relatively few on the science of safety. There are few biographic articles about key researchers and engineers of the past 200 years who contributed to the field. I hope to fill this gap by contributing several articles over the next few weeks.
