Contribute to Alert!

An online database has been incorporated into the Alert! website to provide a structure for holding information about Human Element issues pertinent to the shipping industry. 

Contributors are invited to submit academic papers, technical papers, magazine articles, presentations, letters etc that are likely to add value to the understanding and application of Human Element issues, to: research@nautinst.org

Once the submission has been accepted, it is allocated a reference number and the contributor will then receive notification (by e-mail) from the editor that it has been accepted and uploaded to the database. The editor reserves the right to reject any submission if he considers it to be inappropriate. All documents for uploading to the database should be provided in pdf format and should be no more than 2MB in file size.

Included with the submission (but separate to the document) should be an abstract of the document (maximum 250 words), which should also include:

* The title of the document

* The name(s) of the author(s)

* Date document published

* A list of keywords
