Topic:

Exploring the causes behind the chemical industry accidents during

the pandemic in India
It should analyze all recent accidents in India and should identify
causes, suggest preventive measures based on the analysis
Please understand that I am targeting Elsevier journal, I will give your format of
the paper. Please understand the problem as follows
I am analysing the whether there was any pattern/similar kind events behind the accidents that
occurred in India during the pandemic period. I have secondary data (newspaper) articles
explaining the story of the accidents. You have to collect as much as data using internet and
narrate the events and You should identify the root cause for these accidents. I can give links
for secondary data, and also a base paper on which you can prepare this paper. Please note
that the entire work such as introduction, literature review, methodology, data collection,
results and discussion should be written by you. I will help you anytime if you have any doubts.
Please let me know the approximate amount for this project.
For my work you have to consider at least 40 research papers in literature review section, then
you have to develop a standard methodology, and the article should be in the range of 6500-
8000 words with less than 10% plagiarism. I will check the plagiarism I have access to the
server.
But, we don't have access to the primary data, you have to use internet for data collection part.
But please confirm that you are writing this work for an Elsevier journal, the language should
be purely academic/technical.
And hope you understood my research problem , I will share the link of secondary data source
which explain why/how that accident occurred. You have to gather incident details of 8-10
accidents that occurred in India during the pandemic, anyhow I will share some links and I will
help you in this, In literature review section you should include articles of similar works and
write about their contribution. Finally in results and conclusion section you should identify what
was sequence/pattern of common events that caused these accidents. Now if you have any
doubts please ask now. You are allowed to use any risk assessment/HAZOP techniques/root
cause analysis/tools to make the paper more attractive and robust in methodological part.

Which kind of techniques you are planning to use, because journals are not
interested in simple techniques, please include little bit scores/mathematical
equations to show the novelty of work.
You can use any technique/methodology/tool for this work, but the findings should be clear.
