Defense and Security Studies

Aims & Scope

The journal's scope encompasses relevant defense and security topics from all five domains, including air, land, sea, space, and cyberspace, from an economic, political, legal, social, natural, environmental, engineering, and technological standpoint. Modeling, simulation, methodology, management, and theory are all part of an engineering and technological perspective. All layers of cyberspace are welcome, including geographic components, physical network components, logical network components, cyber persona components, and persona components. Homeland Security topics from all areas are welcome. For more information on the scope, please visit the following link>> The aim of Defense and Security Studies (DSS), ISSN 2744-1741 (UDC 355), is to try to determine and understand the ability of societies to withstand the changing conditions and threats by addressing the contemporary world’s change drivers from geopolitical, ecological, and technological perspectives. Therefore, the journal publishes interdisciplinary works that demonstrate significant achieved/potential advancement in defense and security technologies and systems in all five domains, including air, land, sea, space, and cyberspace. This includes original full-length research papers, short communications, technical reports, case studies, reviews, and book reviews. The scope covers defense and security aspects from an economic, political, legal, social, natural, environmental, engineering, and technological perspective. The engineering and technological perspective includes modeling, simulation, methodology, management, and theory. We welcome articles from any relevant disciplines. Defense and Security Insights Across the Five Domains (Air, Land, Sea, Space, Cyberspace) with Multidisciplinary Approaches (Economic, Political, Legal, Social, Environmental, Engineering, Technological, etc.) Homeland Security Insights Across Key Areas (Border Security, Cybersecurity, Disaster Preparedness, Infrastructure Protection, Immigration Control, Public Health Security, Emergency Response, etc.) The journal's scope encompasses relevant defense and security topics from all five domains, including air, land, sea, space, and cyberspace, from an economic, political, legal, social, natural, environmental, engineering, and technological standpoint. Modeling, simulation, methodology, management, and theory are all part of an engineering and technological perspective. All layers of cyberspace are welcome, including geographic components, physical network components, logical network components, cyber persona components, and persona components.
