Journal History

Technosphere Safety is a scientific and technical journal published since 2022, covering research in occupational safety, industrial and fire safety, civil protection in emergencies, environmental safety and risk management. Since 2026, the journal has been published in electronic format.

Establishment and development

Technosphere Safety was established in 2022 by the Tashkent Institute of Irrigation and Agricultural Mechanization Engineers National Research University (hereinafter the Institute). The Institute is both the founder and publisher of the journal. The journal received permit No. 042945, dated October 12, 2022, from the Agency of Information and Mass Communications under the Administration of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan. The historical archive includes Issue No. 1 for 2022 and issues from subsequent years.

According to information published on the journal's official website, Resolution No. 45 of January 31, 2024, of the Presidium of the Higher Attestation Commission under the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Innovation of the Republic of Uzbekistan included the journal in the list of scientific publications recommended for publishing the principal research results of dissertations submitted by candidates for the degrees of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) and Doctor of Science (DSc) in technical sciences. This inclusion relates to the specified scientific field and does not automatically constitute indexing in international bibliographic databases.

Since 2026 Development of the electronic publication format According to official journal information, publication in electronic format began in 2026. The OJS electronic archive contains issue records covering 2022–2026. Transferring and presenting archival materials does not change their original publication year.
October 2, 2026 Electronic publication of Issue No. 2 for 2026 and TX-2026 series DOIs The electronic archive dates the issue "Vol. 2 No. 2 (2026): July–September" to October 2, 2026. Its article pages display DOIs in the TX-2026 series, including 10.35938/TX-2026-2-00001.

The development of the electronic platform concerns the presentation and dissemination of scholarly publications and does not represent the re-establishment of the journal. Changes to the platform, creation of an electronic archive or assignment of DOIs do not, in themselves, establish a change of journal title, publisher, journal ownership or editorial control. Significant changes to these details must be documented separately with their actual dates and supporting records.

Development of electronic publishing since 2026

Since 2026, the journal has developed electronic publication and presentation of research materials through the Open Journal Systems platform. The journal's official information specifies quarterly publication, year-round manuscript submissions, open access to published articles and double-anonymous peer review. Its editorial policies cover publication ethics, peer review, authorship, conflicts of interest, research data availability, corrections, retractions, copyright and licensing.

Development of the electronic platform aims to improve accessibility to research findings in occupational safety, industrial, fire and environmental safety, emergency prevention and risk modelling. Publication of current requirements does not establish that every previously published article underwent identical procedures. Current policies must not be applied retrospectively as evidence of historical editorial practices. Updating the platform also does not constitute a claim that the journal has been accepted into Scopus or Web of Science.

DOI registration and publication identification

Published electronic article records in Issue No. 2 for 2026 use Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) in the TX-2026 series. For example, the article "Assessment of Workplace Noise Exposure and Innovative Solutions for Its Reduction" has the DOI 10.35938/TX-2026-2-00001. A DOI provides a persistent means of identifying a publication and connecting it with its bibliographic record.

The presence of DOIs for 2026 articles is supported by their published article pages. However, the publicly available information examined does not establish the exact date of the journal's first-ever DOI registration without further verification. Accordingly, 2026 is described as a confirmed period of DOI use on the electronic platform, not unequivocally as the first year in which the journal assigned DOIs.

A DOI registration date, a file upload date and an article's original publication date may differ. Updates to electronic records must preserve the accurate publication history and bibliographic information. Assigning a DOI to previously published material does not, by itself, constitute a new peer-review process or republication.

Archives and transparency of changes

The journal's historical website and updated electronic platform contain archival materials and issue records from different years. The electronic archive lists issues for 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026. Some archival entries use inconsistent volume and issue designations; their actual contents, dates and original bibliographic details must be checked against the original issues. The absence of an article from an individual electronic record does not prove that it was never previously published.

Updating editorial policies and the electronic platform does not automatically correct errors in earlier materials. Discrepancies in dates, numbering, publisher information, DOIs, licences or metadata require individual examination and correction under the Corrections, Retractions and Post-publication Updates Policy. Significant changes to scholarly content must be accompanied by a notice accessible to readers, and current rules must not replace accurate historical records.
