摘      要：There is a recent interest to understand the nature of the safety science discipline and to obtain insights in its development patterns and research *** article analyzes the evolution of the prevalence and scale of collaborative publishing and the macro-level collaboration scale of the Safety Science research ***,an analysis of the evolution of influential research topics of the core researchers’collaboration networks provides insights in the domain’s high-level development *** the prevalence and scale of scientific collaboration are found to have increased dramatically since the inception of Journal of Occupational Accidents,Safety Science’s *** networks have grown significantly,and collaboration between core researchers has steadily *** though this indicates that a core safety science research community has developed,it is also found that the journal continues to serve as a platform for many small and unconnected author *** terms of influential research topics,there is a notable shift from technical aspects of work safety towards psychological and organizational mechanisms of *** recently,influential work of core research networks has additionally focused on safety and risk models and methods,the conceptual and theoretical foundations of the domain,and influential research clusters have formed around safety in specific *** focus topics of core researcher’s collaboration clusters furthermore highlight the variety of conceptual,theoretical,and methodological approaches co-existing within Safety *** implications of the findings are discussed,where both possible benefits and drawbacks of increased collaboration are highlighted and future research avenues outlined.
