Journal on Information Security (JINS) is a peer-reviewed open-access journal publishing high-quality research at the intersection of information security, privacy, and signal-centric data analysis. The journal prioritises work where signal processing, data-driven methods, and system-level measurement are essential to analysing, detecting, or mitigating adversarial behaviour in real-world systems. We particularly encourage work that combines methodological innovation with strong empirical evaluation and clear relevance to real systems. JINS has APC waivers available for authors on an ad-hoc basis. Contact the Journal Publisher before submitting your work for additional information.
