Special acknowledgment to IP News from WVU ICRC:

Although SafetyLit staff members and volunteers continue to closely monitor journal publishers and other sources, we find that IP News from the West Virginia University Injury Control Research Center frequently identifies safety-relevant publications before we do. Beginning in May 2013 SafetyLit and IP News established an agreement to work together to improve both services. IP News is particularly useful for recently released reports and publications from government agencies and groups such as the Insurance Institute and similar NGOs -- items that are not available from SafetyLit.

Software

Parallel to the SafetyLit philosophy that there should be no toll blocking free access to information that points to the location of publications on safety topics; the SafetyLit website uses only open-source software for all of its operations.
