Short Communications

Short Communications are perfect for quickly reporting novel and important research findings, methodologies, or technologies. These concise reports are not considered terminal publications and can later be expanded into full-length papers and submitted to the Stapp Car Crash Journal for publication. Accepted communications are presented at the Stapp Car Crash Conference for the year corresponding to the submission date. Submission requirements, recently accepted submissions and submissions from previous years can be found below.


Submit a Short Communication

Short Communications are accepted in the months preceding the Stapp Car Crash Conference. Requirements for these submissions and information regarding the review process can be found on the Author Resources page.
